Madison.com has an article about the choking incident at a Lake Mills, WI hot dog eating contest on February 2. The victim, Tim Vogel, was intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of .32. (Turn off JavaScript to bypass paywall)
Vogel’s ribs, some of which had cracked under the weight of compressions, held lungs filled with fluid, and an oxygen machine was doing at least 60% of his breathing for him, Dorn said. He was coughing up blood.
“I didn’t even know for probably about 15 hours if he was going to make it,” Dorn said.
Once he was conscious and showing signs of improvement, doctors placed Vogel on a temporary liquid diet due to the trauma in his throat; he jokingly lamented that he hadn’t been able to finish his hot dogs.
