DEATH by egg. It isn't the most glamourous way to shuffle off this mortal coil but that's how it ended for one man after he ate 28 of them - raw.

The young Tunisian man has reportedly died after winning a bet to eat 28 raw eggs in one go.

Dhaou Fatnassi, 20, from the town of Kairouan, swallowed the eggs after his friends challenged him to do so for an undisclosed sum of money.

The young man then experienced stomach pains and was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival, Shems FM reported.

yes you are... eggs are eaten raw by 1000s of species ... they should not have harmed him to the point of death ... I suspect something else was the cause

While I don't necessarily agree or disagree, what could/would have caused him to die then?

Ask the coroner. :p

It's not impossible for something to do with the eggs to have killed him; but it wouldn't have been anything to do with any kind of pathogen in them. He died too quickly for that.

Possibly one was poisoned, or more likely, he had some kind of allergic reaction.

Oh Allergic reaction, that would do it. Maybe there was something else in the mix, a drink, some other food or something? A bet this crazy I bet they were at a bar or something.

Who did he think he was "Cool Hand Luke" ?

This is eggsactly the kind of eggstreme behavior I would expect for an eggciting , eggstravagent and eggsplosive display of stupid ! Feel sorry for the doctors who had to eggsamine the body. I just hope the funeral costs are not eggstortionate, as its a lot to shell out these days :laugh:

Did he do it to impress a chick ?

Thats all yolks !

he could have a very slight allergy to the proteins in the egg? eating to much of one thing even if good for you can kill you (bannanas for example) he could of simply OD'ed on eggs lol or had a reaction he was having stomach pains it sounds like a rejection rather then some kind of virus ... the eggs them selves could have be contaminated with farm yard chemicals who knows :p

Clicked on the source link, expecting to see more information; instead I saw an example of **** journalism.

How have you established the timeframe?

I don't see why he couldn't have died from sepsis due to Salmonella infection from consuming multiple raw eggs.

Going by the article itself...

Clearly indicating there was a short time period between ingestion and death. Far too fast for a salmonella infection; that would take in the order of multiple hours to manifest, and many more to kill him.

    • This is sadly what happens when a company tries to become political and focus on agendas outside gaming, the constant push of inclusivity and whatever the current thing was and box ticking, instead of simply focusing on what was a great game to many myself included, massive let down that a once great game company has ended up this way hopefully this will be a lesson to game devs from here on in to leave politics and agendas out of gaming
    • Prices for consumer electronic stink and will continue to stink for quite some time. If you're at all hesitant, just buy now because it's not getting better. (or buy used and save even more cash)
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Back in March, Sony increased PlayStation 5 prices, and now, it's Microsoft's turn. Today, the company announced a major price increase that will affect all of its Xbox consoles, and one storage option is being discontinued entirely. There is some time before the new prices go into effect. Starting on August 1, 2026, any Xbox Series X|S model with 512GB of storage will cost $100 more than now. The price of 1TB models will go up by $150 instead. At the same time, all 2TB models are being discontinued. "The entire consumer electronics industry is struggling with the current components crisis, but the effects are particularly hard on consoles," said the company. "Unlike phones, computers, speakers, and other consumer devices, consoles are typically not sold at a profit, but instead for less than they cost to make." As the hikes hit, Microsoft is beginning to offer more options to make its consoles more accessible to potential customers, including financing, buy now, pay later schemes, and refurbished options: Buy Now, Pay Later: We’ve made it easier for players to use Buy Now, Pay Later options on eligible XBOX hardware purchases through Microsoft Stores, making it possible to break up your payment into predictable short-term, interest-free installments. Interest-Free Financing: Players purchasing eligible XBOX hardware through Amazon can take advantage of 0% APR financing for up to 12 months, giving players more flexibility with lower monthly payments and more budgeting control. Previously Played Consoles: We are working with retail partners on new programs to provide previously played consoles at lower prices. Players who are ready to upgrade or no longer use their console will be able to trade it in with participating retail partners for cash or store credit. Those consoles will then be made available at lower prices for players. Certified Refurbished Consoles: XBOX Certified Refurbished Consoles are available at Microsoft Stores for up to US$100 off MSRP. Microsoft said that the rising cost of storage and memory prices is behind this decision, with costs going up by over 2.5 times since the last time it raised prices of its consoles. The company says these parts are expected to double in price by the fall of 2027.
