Fan dies during taco-eating contest at Fresno Grizzlies baseball game

A man participating in a taco-eating contest at a minor league baseball game in Fresno died Tuesday night after officials say he began choking on his food.

Dana Hutchings, 41, of Fresno was eating tacos as part of the contest between innings at the Fresno Grizzlies game against the Memphis Redbirds at Chukchansi Park when he started to choke, Fresno County sheriff’s spokesman Toni Botti said.that the man collapsed on the ground in the middle of the contest, which was being held on Taco Tuesday as a precursor to Saturday’s ninth annual Taco Truck Throwdown at the stadium.

Authorities have not determined the man’s cause of death, but officials suspect he may have asphyxiated. An autopsy is expected to be performed later this week, Botti said.

Noooooooo! Tacos shouldn't be deadly! 😢💔🌮

He will be known as Taco Dana. Go with the taco gods my friend.

And then the rigortortas set in...

🌮

If I were a condemned prison, I would request 25 tacos with extra hot sauce for my last meal.

I'm sorry for his family... that being said... food eating contests are a disgusting form of gluttony in a world filled with starving people. I'm sure there are plenty of other contests that can be created to fill the void without such 'fun'. 😶

Hard shell taco or soft shell?

What can we say, it was literally all in fun and foremost, but... I hope that soul rests easy, you did what you loved person, and I respect that.

What a way taco

god damn :(

What a way to go, but probably nacho first choice.

Wow what a way to go! Died doing what he loved.

Maybe eating contests should be cancelled altogether?

He went out like a champ, with taco in hand. We Salute you good sir. Gone too soon.

This is exactly why I don't eat Mexican food

Imagine just wanting to eat a taco and dying :(

KNX1070 Very sad. This is why I've always said that eating contests are a bad idea. As usual, we have to learn the hard way. Sure, this can happen to anyone, but promoting fast eating is asking for trouble.

One of the 7 deadly sins...gluttony. Contests like this should stop!
