The family of a California man who died in a taco-eating contest is taking legal action against the event’s organizers — claiming their negligence led him to choke to death.
Marshall Hutchings, 18, alleges in a suit filed Monday that his father, Dana Hutchings, 41, was not made aware of the risks and danger associated with the competition at a Fresno Grizzlies game, the Fresno Bee reported
The elder Hutchings had not participated in any similar events before he entered the amateur competition on Aug. 13, 2019, at Chukchansi Park, the suit argues.

Looks like Dad passed his considerable IQ down the line to Jr.
Who would have thought gorging yourself on food, could possibly lead someone to choke?

"Now, when you say “taco” eating contest...." Back in the day, there was never a chance of choking...
OTOH, asphyxiation was a possibility...

I’m not getting choked-up about this story.

If there was ever a sardine eating contest, I’d be the winner of that. I really like my sardines!

Choking on Tacos? Must have been steak. Hot Dog eating contests seem the most dangerous. Choking on hot dogs is a serious risk.

I’d give you a run for your money on that. Nobody else I know likes them so they are ALL MINE!
Anchovies, on the other hand, y’all can have.

He should have chewed on the idea before entering the contest.

Yes, anchovies too salty for my taste. But sardines are a nutritional powerhouse. I've been having a tin of them every day for at least 20 years. Helps keep me very healthy.
