A 45-year-old Indonesian man choked to death earlier today during a chicken eating contest in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta.
The competition was organised by the globally known fast-food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) earlier yesterday, and had three participants who raced to eat the most fried chicken wings in the least amount of time, according to EFE news.
According to the police, the victim choked, drank water and died despite being given medical aid.
Earlier, in January, a three-year-old girl died after choking on a toy hidden inside a Kinder Surprise chocolate egg.
The girl’s mother told police the child swallowed a small plastic wheel that had become detached from a toy hidden inside the egg, a much-loved product made by Italian company Ferrero.
“The child’s grandfather arrived quickly and managed to extract the object”, but the girl had fallen into a coma and died on Saturday night in a hospital in the southwestern city of Toulouse, prosecutor Cecile Deprade said in a statement.
An autopsy confirmed “death following mechanical asphyxiation,” the gendarmerie in Toulouse said on Tuesday.
