Limpopo police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said they have opened an inquest docket following the death of a man who passed away after consuming a full bottle of Jägermeister.

The incident is said to have occurred at Waterval just outside Louis Trichardt.

“The police in Waterval outside Louis Trichardt have opened a case of inquest following an incident of apparent misuse of alcohol that took place at one of the local liquor outlets at Mashamba Village where the patrons allegedly participated in what they called a ‘drinking competition,” said Brigadier.

Brigadier added that the deceased allegedly took part in a competition where the winner who could consume the entire bottle of Jägermeister within a specified time, would get R200 cash prize.

One of the competitors “immediately collapsed” thereafter and was taken to the local clinic where he was certified dead.
