A Colorado man choked to death on Sunday, while he was trying to scarf down a half-pound doughnut as a part of a challenge at the Voodoo Doughnuts in Denver.
42-year0old Travis Malouff, passed away while he was trying to eat the giant half-pound doughnut in less than 80 seconds as part of the shop’s “Tex-Ass Challenge”.
Malouff died due to obstruction of the airway “Asphyxia”, according to the Medical Examiner of Denver Office.
Travis Malouff’s father, Curtis Malouff said that it is a tragic. “It is a loss of life that should not be, he said.
The Tex-Ass challenge requires participants to eat the large doughnut, which is similar to the size of six regular doughnuts, and has a 7-inch diameter in exchange for a free meal and a free button.
Voodoo Doughnuts opened its first location in Portland in 2003, for the first time it expanded its business outside Oregon, when it opened a location at Denver in December 2013.
The chain frequently finds itself in controversies, in 2016; it got in the political spirit with life-size voodoo dolls of President Trump and Hillary Clinton, and made fun at Oregon Standoff leader Ammon Bundy’s arrest with a custom doughnut.
