The grieving family of a mother in the U.K. is speaking out about the dangers of eating contests and competitive food challenges after the 24-year-old choked on a dessert snack and suffered a fatal heart attack. According to the news outlet, she spent five days in the hospital but doctors told the family she had suffered severe brain damage and she died on Feb. 27. “So many people have said they play a similar game with marshmallows,” Michele Gaskin told SWNS. Caitlin Nelson, a student at Sacred Heart University, was participating in a charity fundraiser that involved eating multiple pancakes in a short period of time. Gaskin’s family also decided to donate her liver, kidneys, heart, pancreas and a lung, SWNS reported.
