this is so sad!
on a lighter note--ad i am not trying to make light of what happened...
it reminds me of Daffy duck doing that special trick--but he could only do it once....

Now that is odd! I have never heard of anyone dieing because of hot peppers...I could be wrong. It sounds like he had some kind of allergy! I mean itching and all! How sad and such a loss!

I wonder what kind of chilis he ate?
