      I feel like you think you’re saying something profound, but it honestly doesn’t sound like you’re saying anything at all. What does this comment even mean?

      He had a heart condition. The capsaicin triggered a reaction. He died.

      It’s not like people are frequently dying because of spicy food. There are no shortages of spicy food eating challenges, and usually nobody gets hurt. It’s generally regarded as harmless, because it usually is.

      This was a tragedy, but you’re acting like he deserved it or something. For eating a hot tortilla chip from the grocery store: a thing that never fucking kills people.
