A 20-year-old Tufts University lacrosse player has died ... after she tragically choked during a hot dog eating contest over the weekend.-- a junior on the Jumbos' lax squad -- was participating in a competitive eating event off-campus on Saturday when something went horribly wrong.... authorities said Nicpon fell unconscious after choking, and was rushed to the hospital after first responders got to the scene.
Thousands of students came out to the campus to mourn the loss of Nicpon shortly after her death Sunday evening ... surrounding her jersey with candles and remembering her fondly."We are beyond heartbroken to share the news of the passing of junior Madie Nicpon -- 'Scooter,'" the Tufts lax team wrote on Instagram."Scooter was a true friend and teammate. She truly valued her relationships with her teammates and coaches.
"Her reach was far beyond our team -- she was a true connector on campus and touched every single person she met."Nicpon had played in several games in her first two years for the Jumbos, and was expected to be a key contributor this season.
please take down this tweet. The disgusting ignorance of the comments are very hurtful to all who loved this young woman. This is a tragedy, not your normal celebrity clickbait. Be better, take this down or Twitter please do it for them.
RIP Baby Girl. 😢
RIP baby girl.
Completely sad 😿😿
Guess she wasn’t that tufft
Me recording the Glick eating contest when she started choking
What
MsMPirate Sad.
No one tried to help her?
Wtf?
So freaking sad!!!!
Sad😔 ...🙏🏾♥️
Does this type of sport happen anywhere else? Maybe a race against food insecurities for our children here in the USA would work better.
😏
Death by the glizzy smh mmm mmm mmm mmm rip
Why is this important? There are tons of people dying by a more concerning fate. She choked on a hot dog. There are people being murdered and having their organs harvested.
Death by hotdog 🌭
Food contests should be banned
Did she win?
I've heard weird ways of dying but this gotta be 1 or 2 for sure... RIP
Darwin Award for sure
The insensitive comments on the young lady dying are a absolutely indicator of the state of society in this country. Y'all are fucking sad and pathetic. This girls parents will never be the same and we lost a young soul way too early.
😥😥
I thought this was an onion article for a second 🤣
I'm sure she jus wanted to eat hotdogs not knowing it gona kill her......may she rip
..
So tragic. Such a shitty way to die.
Well!!! Not gonna touch this one but I think you get it!
Very ugly
Terrible.
In a split second
should have practiced more.
Ill bet she was popular
Condolences 💐 Peace b with ur family and friends. RIP!
that was the last sasuage she was taking
I hope hot dogs/eating contests don't get canceled.
Damn I love glizzys but not enough for one to kill me

No one could give this woman the 5 and 5?
This is very sad.

You gotta be kidding?
Her parents were probably worried that when she went away to school that she'd be caught on video gagging on a wiener but not this way. RIP
How does this happen at an event like this with so many people around?
I mean what do you even say? Shake my head and wonder what they’re actually going to school for.
Have some sensitivity for the family. This isn’t a joke. She lost her life and it was a tragedy.
Darn, thought she would have a good porn career
Billybobwalter1 🤦♀️
Very very sad
she must be lesbian then. i bet she wont chock if it was sushi eating contest…
RIP 🙏
So, this obviously wasn’t her
She couldn’t handle the glizzys
Is this real? How sad!
Wow that’s crazy and sad at the same time
It’s already sad that she lost her life that way. But imagine the reason of death on her death certificate.
Nobody could do Heimlich maneuver on her when ahe was choking ? Parents send their kids to the universities for education not for gauging on hotdogs and dying on the process! What a waste.
she died a la verga Chingonsito666
Ok it’s sad she died, but does anyone know how many hot dogs she ate before she checked out?
What a way to go jesus
The family doesn't even have a chance to make up some bullshit story to give her more dignity, lmaooo
Hot dog ! Smh
I guess she couldn’t handle the man meat either
Lol nah
🤯🤯
wow
