One year anniversary of Scott Bickel’s passing / 2012 losses
It has now been over one year since Scott Bickel took his own life on January 11, 2012 by jumping of the State Route 82 Bridge in Sagamore Hills in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. (Bickel’s death was not the only appearance of the bridge in 2012 news; members of “Occupy Cleveland” were arrested in May for attempting to blow it up.) Other 2012 losses in the competitive eating community include:
- Edward Archbold choked to death in October after winning a bug eating contest in Deerfield Beach, FL
- Frank Pastore, Big Texan 72 ounce steak record holder 1987-2008. Passed away in December after a coma following a motorcycle crash in November.
- Dau Fatnassi, Tunisian passed away in December after eating 28 eggs in a 30 egg eating challenge
Samit Aulakh fell into a coma after choking in a Gulab Jamun eating contest in Surrey, BC in November (as far as I know, he is still in that condition.)
