A 77-year-old Ukrainian man won a jar full of sour cream for coming first in a dumpling eating contest and then promptly died, local media reported on Wednesday.
Ivan Mendel ate 10 dumplings in half a minute to win first place and a one-liter jar of sour cream in the contest held in the town of Tokmak in the southeastern Zaporizhya region on September 18, Fakty I Kommentarii newspaper said.
Shortly afterwards, Mendel became unwell and died, according to local news websites.

That's almost the lamest prize ever. Well, I guess he got a free lunch. I doubt they charged for the dumplings :^D

It doesn't really elaborate on how he died.

Rip to him though.

He became unwell, and died?

Perhaps a bit of an understatement.

Who would get their news from a paper called "Fakty I Kommentarii newspaper". It's got Fake right in the name. Might be their version of the Onion.

[nCred]

Did the runner up get the sour cream instead? That would've been awkward.
