The man in history most famously associated with eating himself to death is King Adolf Frederick of Sweden.

He died after consuming an enormous meal on Shrove Tuesday in 1771.


The king's final feast was extravagant, even by royal standards. It occurred on February 12, 1771, and was a traditional pre-Lenten indulgence.

: He ate lobster, caviar, sauerkraut, smoked herring, and champagne.
Dessert: He then consumed 14 servings of his favorite dessert, semla (a sweet, cream-filled bun with almond paste, served in a bowl of hot milk).
