Ärende: Chilli, The Devil Fruit, Kills Chef
===========================================
Found this article in the UK Telegraph about a guy who
ate some super hot chilli and died the next day. Tests
are being done to see if an overdose of chilli could
be the cause. I've always been suspicious of food that 
hurts when you eat it.

"Chef Dies After Eating 'Superhot' chilli For Bet" 
by Jessica Salter, London Telegraph, 9/29/08

An amateur chef died the day after eating a "superhot" 
chilli in a bet with his friend over who could make 
the hottest dish, an inquest heard.

Andrew Lee, 33, suffered heart failure the morning 
after he ate the chilli.

Toxicology tests are now being carried out to see if the 
fork lift truck driver suffered a fatal reaction to the 
dish or whether anything else contributed to his death.

Mr. Lee, of Edington, Doncaster was apparently in 
perfect health and had just passed a medical at work, 
the opening of the Doncaster hearing was told.

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

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.

A full post-mortem examination is underway and further 
inquiries are being carried out.

Deputy Doncaster coroner Fred Curtis granted a burial 
order and adjourned the inquest for further evidence.
