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.

Guy looks kinda like Joe pesci
A metaphor for the state of our country!
He looks like a guy who might confuse taco eating with something else.
Looks like some tagger graffitied his hat.

Dibs!
Statute of limitation in Cali is 2 years. Attorney’s like to sit on their cases until right before and then file.
The family filing suit sound like freeloaders.
LOL!!!
Why do you think they have Gluttony as one of the Seven Deadly Sins?
“Chukchansi Park”
You chuck down those tacos, you takes you chansi.
had Dana Hutchings lived in America the last 40 years? Has he not read or heard one single story as an adult about gluttony at eating and drinking contests causing serious problems? Or that professional contestants actually train for such contests? Has he never eaten more than one taco at a sitting before? Was he unable to stop himself and be satisfied with being just a rookie participant along for the fun?
No grounds. Sorry son.
Tacos have only been shown to be associated with death, not the cause of it. The reward was worth the risk. Judgement for the defendant.
If you are only eating the tacos to win a prize, not out of hunger, is it gluttony or greed?
