Cook Dies After Eating Superhot Chili on a Bet

(UK) A 33-year-old cooking hobbyist, Andrew Lee, died after eating chili on a bet.

Cooking was one of his main interests and he went to his girlfriend Samantha Bailey's house to make a chilli [sic].

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."

Mother-of-four Miss Bailey called the emergency services to her home nine days ago.

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.

Paramedics failed to revive him and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The amount of the bet wasn't reported.
