An aspiring chef died after eating a "super hot" chilli sauce in a competition with his girlfriend's brother, an inquest in England has heard.
Andrew Lee, 33, challenged his girlfriend's brother to a contest on September 19 to see who could make and eat the hottest sauce, London's The Times reported.
The forklift driver from Edlington, West Yorkshire in England, made a tomato sauce with red chillies grown by his father, but after eating it suffered intense discomfort and itching.
Mr Lee went to bed and asked his girlfriend, Samantha Bailey, to scratch his back until he fell asleep.
When she woke in the morning he was dead, possibly after suffering a heart attack, The Guardian said.

NEWSWIRE--An amateur chef died the day after eating a "superhot" pepper in a bet over who could make the hottest dish.
To this handy rule of measurement I'll clue you;
It determines if you lose or if you win:
There are things of which a little dab will do you,
And of others which a dab will do you in.
