DEATH BY PANCAKES

This could have been me when we celebrated pancake day recently in the UK. For some reason I found myself looking forward to it for weeks and when it came I was eating pancakes all day and didn't eat anything else. It was better than Christmas.

...Witnesses described Mr Isayev as "the most active participant in the contest" adding that he "ate all the types of pancakes on offer and won fairly".

The witness added: "He had really enjoyed the pancakes but then he started foaming at the mouth and went down like a sack of stones."

"People have fainted during the contests before."

Medics tried to revive Mr Isayev after he collapsed while collecting his prize on stage. The exact cause of death is not clear but doctors believe he choked after a piece of pancake got lodged in his throat. Celebrations are said to have continued after Mr Isayev's body was taken away in an ambulance...
