Cockroach Eating Man Collapses, Dies After Winning Roach-Eating Contest

	Cockroach Eating Man Collapses, Dies After Winning Roach-Eating Contest DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. - A man from West Palm Beach died after eating dozens of cockroaches and worms as part of an eating contest, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office. Edward Archbold, 32, participated in an roach-eating contest at Ben Siegel Reptiles in Deerfield Beach on Friday evening. The winner of the contest won a python. According to BSO, Archbold, who won the contest, started regurgitating after it was over. He later collapsed in front of the store. Archbold was then transported to Broward Health North, where he died. Archbold's sister, Tina, said the family is devastated by his death. She said Archbold lived alone in West Palm Beach and, although he was outgoing and friendly, was also introspective and private. The family is now planning his funeral. "That's insanity. I mean, you're talking about a cockroach," said Shane Santa Croce, whose daughter was at the event on Friday. "They were giving away a really expensive snake, so, you know, people do what they have to do, I guess. Not my cup of tea for sure." "Very saddened by this. I mean, it was a shock," said Ben Siegel, the owner of the store. "Eddie was a very nice guy. We just met him that night, but everybody that works here was very fond of him. He was outgoing, he was the life of the party, and he really made our night more fun." Siegel said contestants must sign a waiver saying they are sober and don't have allergies to shellfish, which have similar allergens to cockroaches.
