Tufts University lacrosse player dies after choking during hot dog eating contest, authorities say Madelyn "Madie" Lee Nicpon, 20, of Suffern, New York, died Sunday at Massachusetts General Hospital after falling unconscious Saturday at a charity fundraiser, officials said.

20 YEAR OLD WOMAN DIES AT TUFTS HOTDOG EATING CONTEST For the past 20 years my investigation into Tufts University has indicated a gross disrespect for the students who pay them so much money. The "surrogate parents" at Tufts don't give a damn about the student population, they are merely means to an end of amassing huge volumes of money. It is an extremely creepy college. A good Halloween horror movie could be made on the campus. I've been investigating that campus ever since that poor woman was born.

A Tufts University lacrosse player died after she choked during a hot dog eating contest for charity, officials said.

Madelyn "Madie" Lee Nicpon, 20, of Suffern, New York, was involved in an accident Saturday afternoon at an off-campus house in the small city of Somerville, just 3 miles northwest of Boston, Massachusetts, the university said in a statement. At the time of the incident, Nicpon was participating in a hot dog eating contest as part of a charity fundraiser and choked, according to authorities, the Rockland/Westchester Journal News reported.

A Somerville police spokesperson did not confirm that detail when contacted Thursday by NBC News.
