Spicy chili kills amateur chef?!

Andrew Lee, aged 33, apparently died after making and eating an intensely spicy chili. Lee was apparently in good health and toxicologists are running tests to figure out exactly what killed him.

From the Sydney Morning Herald:
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.

CAPSAICIN CRUNCH

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.
