Mother-of-one, 24, choked to death when she tried to see how many Jaffa Cakes she could fit in her mouth for a party trick

A young mother choked to death when she tried to see how many Jaffa Cakes she could fit in her mouth for a party trick.

Bethan Gaskin, 24, blacked out and stopped breathing when the snacks got lodged in her throat as she desperately tried to spit them out.

The mother-of-one collapsed at home in Bourne, Lincolnshire on February 22 and was rushed to hospital.

Tragically, the beauty therapist suffered a heart attack and she died five days later at Peterborough City Hospital.

Today her devastated adoptive mother Michele, 52, warned other people of the dangers of extreme food challenges.

She said: 'I remember raising my eyebrows when Bethan started the game, thinking "how old are you?" and telling her to spit them out.

Jesus, and they want the vote?

at least she qualifies for the Darwin award though

So many young people pay for their abject stupidity with their lives. It's madness. I mean we did daft things when we were that age, but stuff like this? Drinking yourself to death? Choking on your own gluttony? Eating slugs and ending up brain damaged? No.
