CNN) -- A 32-year-old man downed dozens of roaches and worms to win a python at a Florida reptile store, then collapsed and died outside minutes later.
Edward Archbold was among 20 to 30 contestants participating in Friday night's "Midnight Madness" event at Ben Siegel Reptiles in Deerfield Beach, authorities said.
The participants' goal: consume as many insects and worms as they could to take home a $850 python.
Archbold swallowed roach after roach, worm after worm. While the store didn't say exactly how many Archbold consumed, the owner told CNN affiliate WPLG that he was "the life of the party."
"He really made our night more fun," Ben Siegel told the station.
Soon after the contest was over, Archbold fell ill and began to vomit, the Broward County Sheriff's Office said Monday.
A friend called for medical help. Then, Archbold himself dialed 911, the store said in a Facebook post.
Eventually, he fell to the ground outside the store, the sheriff's office said. An ambulance took him to North Broward Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The Broward Medical Examiner's Office conducted an autopsy and are awaiting test results to determine the cause of his death.
No other contestant fell ill, the sheriff's office said.

I think he paid a visit to the "roach hotel" were they check in, but they don't check out!

They were probably laced with terminex, and he poisoned himself.

It does seem as if you have a healthy share of them. And the one's we have tend to run there when they hit the radar of the local authorities. . .  :icon_twisted:
