Students at Connecticut's Sacred Heart University were left saddened and stunned after a 20-year-old sorority girl died on April 2 from choking during a pancake-eating contest days earlier.
Caitlin Nelson had eaten four or five pancakes at the March 30 charity event put on by her sorority, when she fell to the floor and started shaking uncontrollably, reports New York Daily News. According to authorities, Nelson was able to spit some of the food out, but she still could not breathe. Nursing students at the event rushed to help her and called 911. Despite employing the Heimlich maneuver and other attempts to save her life, emergency responders were unable to clear her airway for some time. She died days later in a New York hospital "We did what we could until paramedics arrived," said Fairfield Police Lt. Robert Kalamaras, who was on duty at the time and ran across campus to help her, according to the New York Daily News. "It's difficult, it's intense and it's tragic for the family and of course for the entire Sacred Heart community. It's difficult to go and face the parent and tell them what happened." Kalamaras said Nelson had food allergies but that they probably did not contribute to her death, which he called "a tragic accident." This is not the first family tragedy for the Nelsons. When Caitlin was 5, her father, who was a Port Authority police officer, died in the rescue efforts following the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks. Like her father, Caitlin has a long history of volunteering to help her community and was studying to become a social worker. Caitlin was a registered organ donor, so her organs will be used to save other lives. "My heart is broken for Caitlin's family," said Port Authority Police Benevolent Association President Paul Nunziato. "Like her dad, who gave all he possibly could in the final moments of his life so others may live, Caitlin also gave all she could so others live." Caitlin was attending school on a scholarship for the children of those who died in the 9/11 attacks, and some students have discussed founding a scholarship in her name. "The ripple effect of this -- it's not just our 911 families that it devastated, but people around the country," said one police source. Thousands of students attended a candlelight vigil for her on April 2, notes The Connecticut Post Full Article: http://www.opposingviews.com/i/health/sorority-girl-chokes-and-dies-during-pancake-eating-contest-0 ![]() Jeez that family cannot catch a break :/ --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. http://i.imgur.com/45yVrRr.jpg ...

I think you just don't like fun I think thats a ridiculous and baseless assumption. Eating a crapload of hotdogs and pizza/pies is fun for you? Then you have a problem. Its also unhealthy and clearly dangerous. You posted this article yourself and you can't see why I'm upset with the stupidity of these contests? Its ridiculous.

I don't like fun where people can hurt their own bodies. No, I don't.
You aren't counteracting anything, all you're doing is saying "Nope you don't like fun. Nope you don't like fun." Everyone likes fun. Someone died because of this and you can't tell why I'm upset. I can't say you're really young because some young people are very intelligent, but something is clearly amiss with you. --- PSN: xLionhartx Vita games most played: BlazBlue CP, RO Ace, Mon Monpiece, Wipeout 2048 ...

I don't like fun where people can hurt their own bodies. No, I don't. So all sports, drinking, fireworks, driving, swimming is a no no because you might get hurt? As I said you just seem to hate fun. A night out with you is sitting in a circle quieting talking

Christ, how do you even handle hearing that a loved one died for such a stupid reason? Agreed. Agreed. TC can't understand why its stupid though. Weight gain, high caloric intake (not in this case, but since we are talking about all food eating contests now), potential heart attack, choking (multiple cases throughout the years), coma. https://www.boston.com/culture/food/2014/07/08/eating-contests-dont-do-them But TC insists "I think you just don't like fun. I think you just don't like fun." Apparently lacking basic reasoning skills. A challenge? I understand the appeal. A healthy challenge like video gaming of all kinds, chess, biking, exercise, swimming, cross country, hiking, all healthy. Yes they all have potential dangers but the main activity isn't dangerous in and of itself like eating a crapload of things is to try to stuff yourself more than everyone else can. You're asking for trouble. The body wasn't made for that. --- PSN: xLionhartx Vita games most played: BlazBlue CP, RO Ace, Mon Monpiece, Wipeout 2048 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ignoring everything else I said including the article about how unhealthy overeating is.
Lacking basic reasoning skills. Yeah I'm going to injure myself so badly and choke/coma/heart attack while I play (insert game name here.) The difference between this and gaming is that when people game, the obvious intention isn't to game until you hurt yourself. Some people have died gaming when they play for days without getting up, but the goal of gaming doesn't involve overindulging. Eating contests do. But that's too hard to understand for some. --- PSN: xLionhartx Vita games most played: BlazBlue CP, RO Ace, Mon Monpiece, Wipeout 2048 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm genuinely surprised no one attempted an emergency tracheotomy. It's not fun or pretty, but it can save lives.
I mean, paramedics are poorly trained for it since it's rarely ever required, but I wish they had called medical control and gotten a go ahead. Though jobs may have been at risk. I remember a story of medics getting fired for performing an emergency c section on scene for a dead woman. Saved the baby. I'd lose a job for that. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
