LONDON (AFP) - A man has died after taking part in a competition to see how many cup cakes he could eat at once, officials said Monday.

Paramedics were called to revive Adam Deeley, 34, after receiving a call saying he was choking at a cafe in Swansea, south Wales, in the early hours of Friday but could not save him and he died in hospital.
He had reportedly been attending a party to raise funds for an exhibition by a local artist.
"Quite a spread had been laid on and when the party finished in the early hours, there was quite a lot left over," an unnamed witness told the Sun newspaper.
"Someone suggested seeing how quickly they could eat the mound of fairy cakes that were left. But suddenly, someone started choking."
The paper reported that five cakes got stuck in Deeley's throat, although police say they are still investigating the cause of the death.
Inspector Paul McCarthy said: "The issue concerning cakes is something we are looking at as a contributory factor in his passing."
In a statement, cafe owners Amanda Davey and Paul Dyke said: "It was a tragic accident and very sad and should serve as a cautionary tale."
The Welsh Ambulance Service said it attended "after receiving a report a man was choking". The local coroner will open an investigation into the death in the coming days.

You are not your job.
You are not how much money you have in the bank.
You are not the car you drive.
You are not the contents of your wallet.
You are not your fucking khakis.
