Lollies kill man December 19, 2002

A TURKISH man died after eating two kilograms of sweets following a bet with a friend, Anatolia news agency reported.

Necati Ceylan, a 45-year-old father of five, died in hospital in the southern city of Gaziantep after spending three weeks in coma, the agency said.

Ceylan was hospitalised last month after eating two kilograms of baklava, a traditional Middle Eastern dessert with heavily sugared syrup.

He won the bet.

Neutral: Honorable Mention
Technically, this one is disqualified from a DA, as he was a "father of five", but I note that there is flexibiilty wrt the reproduction rule. After all, we're meant to inspire our kids, right? But this is certainly an original - and self-inflicted and a little silly - demise. Well done! BTW, I LOVE baklava, but usually only indulge in small doses

Personally, I'd like more information, but I will defer to my fellow moderators who have actually eaten baklava.

It's not too often that people are killed by a sweet tooth.

I love baklava, but it weighs heavy in the stomach. It makes me feel sick to think of eating even half a kilo at a sitting - and I have a good appetite: I have eaten half a gallon of ice cream at a sitting with no ill effect (not on a bet, I was just hungry).

ost bingers overdo on alcohol, water, or in one recent case salt. Here at least we have some originality, although bets are a common theme.
