Telegraph - An amateur chef died the day after eating a "superhot" chilli in a bet with his friend over who could make the hottest dish, an inquest heard. Andrew Lee, 33, suffered heart failure the morning after he ate the chilli. Toxicology tests are now being carried out to see if the fork lift truck driver suffered a fatal reaction to the dish or whether anything else contributed to his death.  Cooking was one of his main interests and he went to his girlfriend Samantha Bailey's house to make a chilli.  His father John Lee told the inquest: "He had a bet with Samantha's brother who could make the hottest chilli then went back to her house to stay." Police officers were called to the house after receiving reports of a man suffering a cardiac arrest and Mr Lee was found lying on the floor.

Okay here is my question.  Do you think the guy who made the “superhot” chili is sneaky a little bit proud of himself?  I mean just a little bit?  Yeah I know he probably didn’t want to literally kill his brother in law, but the message is loud and clear here.  Don’t fuck with my chili because it’s lethal.   And wasn’t that the goal of this bet in the first place?   To see who could make who blink first? So my guess is that he’s 98% sad and 2% proud.    Let’s just hope and pray that the autopsy doesn’t show that there was foul play involved because I’d hate to learn that this guy died from food poisoning as opposed to pure heat. It would just ruin the integrity chili contests everywhere.

PS – This kind of reminds me of when that French Chef tried to kill Homer at the Taste of Springfield with an “eclair containing one million calories and 25 pounds of butter per square inch covered in chocolate so dark light can not escape its surface...and a little poison"
