Death by pancakes

Pancake winner dies in all-you-can-eat contest:

The winner of a pancake-eating contest dropped dead after gorging himself on 43 of the cream and banana stuffed desserts.

Boris Isayev, 48, from west Russia, collapsed to his knees and died on stage after stuffing himself with pancakes in a competition to mark the end of the region’s ‘Pancake Week’.

"He had really enjoyed the pancakes but then he started foaming at the mouth and went down like a sack of stones," one witness said. "We have seen people fainting [during such contests] before," she added.
