    ME: Man Died From Asphyxia After Bug Eating Contest

    A West Palm Beach man who died after eating handfuls of roaches in a Deerfield Beach pet store bug and worm eating contest suffocated in part from bug parts lodged in his throat.

    The Broward Medical Examiner said Edward Archbold, 32, died as the “result of asphyxia due to choking and aspiration of gastric contents.”

    The ME found the choking and vomiting were brought on by “airway obstruction by the arthropod body parts” and said the death was asphyxial in nature.

    The ME ruled Archbold’s death was an accident.
