Aspiring Chef Dies After Eating Red-Hot Chili Sauce For A Dare

"An aspiring chef died after eating a super-hot chili sauce as part of an endurance competition with a friend. Andrew Lee, 33, challenged his girlfriend’s brother to a contest to see who could eat the spiciest sauce that he could create. The fork-lift truck driver, who wanted to cook for a living, prepared a tomato sauce made with red chillies grown on his father’s allotment. After eating it, however, he suffered intense discomfort and itching. The following morning he was found dead, possibly after suffering a heart attack (FoxNews)."

DP and I have had very similar competitions, and I read this story and looking back I am really glad neither of us are dead. We had a hot sauce in college that you could put a drop of it into a burger, cook it, and it will still make you feel like you were going to die. That stuff sucked, one time this kid, who we knew, got it in his eye. That kid is in the army now, but I'll tell you, he cried like a little girl, and I don't blame him. Dieing from hot sauce has to be one of the worst ways to go. Poor guy...

Chef Stabs Himself in the Chest

This is no way is a funny story, but read what FoxNews wrote about it..."An Italian chef and cooking show host was rushed to the hospital after stabbing himself in the chest with a kitchen knife at his London apartment". That is fine and and seems normal until they write this gem..."It is not clear whether Carluccio, 71, was trying to kill himself. His spokeswoman said she does not know yet if the stabbing was a suicide attempt". Are you kidding me Fox, you just said he stabbed himself in the chest. You kinda don't do that by accident. Even more, what the hell kind of way is that to kill yourself? Slitting wrists, overdose, but this guy tried to go ninja style. Instead of using a sword, he used a kitchen knife...ballsy my friend. Still, FoxNews I think can confirm that this is a suicide attempt...just another way DC is helping the world solve its mysteries.
