Did you hear about the woman who died from eating marshmellows?

I don't know. They said she just went off the stage and collapsed. It seems if she was choking..she would have done the whole hands to the throat thing I imagine more will come out about it

@MarieCoyle I so much agree with you. I understand your question - who wants to do that. But still there are people who do that. It's like we talked a few times about how we shouldn't discriminate, but still people do. It's the same thing. Who want to do eating contests. But still there are a few souls who want to do that. It's definitely not safe. But you know, this reminds me of the slapping competition. Power Slap or something at it's called. I don't know the exact name. But have you seen the aftereffects of it? It's horrible. Getting hit that way on cheeks and temple area isn't good.

@MarieCoyle That would be startling!

A sugar rush killing you? How does that happen? Not sure I have heard of that one. It was obviously something rather strange though

@Juliaacv Hmm, maybe she had a heart defect that made her prone to that.

@snowy22315 That was what I wondered with suggesting the sugar overload.

@LovesEverybody I would eat a couple of hot dogs at the most. Those contests are dumb. And they even show them on TV.

@snowy22315 I heard about that too. Gross.

@snowy22315 i would never as that is a very real possibility. Also, that is so many hot dogs eaten the person doesn't need when there are people who don't have enough to eat and would love a hot dog.

It is hard to imagine what might have happened, but seems her airway might have been blocked..choking doesn't usually happen that fast though like you said It could be it was an un related hear attack or stroke

@snowy22315 bless her soul.

Maybe, and definitely too much caffeine can kill you.

@Kandae11 I love caffeine, but I can't have too much. It interferes with my sleep.

@snowy22315 l avoid caffeine . Decaf is my friend.

I guess the autopsy will give more details.

Tragic anyway you look at it.

Yes, sad situation..was just supposed to be a harmless, fun activity.

I suppose we will hear eventually.

This must have been due to choking.

Marie posted the story. It actually happened about a year ago apparently, but there is a jury inquest that just started. It seems it was her airway being blocked by one or more marshmellows.

@snowy22315 This is what I thought, those things in large quantity can surely cause a problem.

@snowy22315 seem a bit late,right?now just to inquest

I think her airways were blocked.

@sallypup You wouldn't think a big dog like that would choke on something relatively small.

@snowy22315 Once I shared a corndog with my Rufus dog- didn't think about breaking the round piece up. I looked over and saw that he was having obvious trouble. I reached into his mouth and pulled the chunk out and broke it up so it wasn't like a plug. Super scared me.

There was a nurse that was trying to assist her. I think the only thing that might have saved her would have been an emergency tracheotomy.

Maybe more than one.
