If all it took was 10 dumplings to kill him, he was practically on deaths door anyway.

“Ooops. Shoulda checked the expiration date on that sour cream.”
Unfortunately for Ivan Mendel he was the one with the expiration date.

I wonder if when people like this eat too much their body goes into overdrive to generate digestive juices and this in turn causes a dangerous electrolyte imbalance that stops the heart?
Could it be possible if they were somewhat deficient in calcium, potasium or sodium?
