Edward (Barry) Archbold passed away from a tragic accident.
"A 32-year-old man died after winning a midnight roach-eating contest at a Reptile Store in Florida. The grand prize was a female Ivory Ball python. He planned on giving it to his friend"
I personally did not know Eddie and many of you did not either. I am told Eddie was a very nice guy and his friends were everything to him. "He was the life of the Party" What happened was tragic and no one could have predicted what happened. It is difficult for the family as well as the reptile community.
Eddie left two Daughters behind. They could use our help.
I have spoken to his Sister, and Girlfriend Natasha Proffitt to start a Memorial Fund. The money will be going towards Eddie's Daughters College Fund.

He Died shortly after winning a contest at Ben Siegel's "Midnight madness" Sale on October Fifth, He did win the Ivory Ball python, that he had intended to give to a friend. I personally did not know him, but It is quite sad that he passed away just moments after doing something kind for a friend, I understand he was a great man, A wonderful person. I respect him, And extend a hand to his family and friends in respect. Rest in Peace Ed.
None of this was anybody's fault, So dont go looking for people to blame, Its just something that happened. (The below post is a comment from TRP On a BSR Post on Facebook)
I Support BSR Completely, and all the Business I have had with them has been good, They seem like Kind people, I Did not Know Eddie personally But Honestly i am Appalled at all the hatred and Cruel words, Those of you that knew him, My condolences He sounds like a great man. This was not BSR's fault, It was not any body's fault, it was just something that happened. there is not use in looking for somebody to blame, Be kind, and Let Eddie Rest in peace.

We are all very sad at Ben Siegel reptiles about the passing of Eddie Barry (Archbold) We just met him the night of our sale but all liked him very much. He was outgoing and was fun and got the crowd very worked up and excited. We are sorry we will not get to know him better. We will keep everyone updated as we can. Please try to be respectful of Eddie's family as I am sure this is a very difficult time for them as well as everyone involved. Here is a release from our attorney.
My firm has been retained to represent Ben Siegel and his business as it relates to the tragic death of Eddie Archbold, apparently also known as Eddie Barry to some. This matter is still under investigation, so I have instructed Mr. Siegel and his staff to refrain from making any comments to the media or anyone else other than law enforcement. Some facts that have come out include the fact that all participants in the contest were entirely aware of what they were doing and that they signed thorough waivers accepting responsibility for their participation in this unique and unorthodox contest. The consumption of insects is widely accepted throughout the world, and the insects presented as part of the contest were taken from an inventory of insects that are safely and domestically raised in a controlled environment as food for reptiles. Once Mr. Archbold showed signs of distress, his companion represented that he had summoned emergency personnel and was going to immediately take him to the hospital. Moments later, Mr.Siegel made an independent call to 911 and Mr. Archbold was administered CPR. Mr. Siegel and his staff did all that anyone could to try and help Mr. Archbold, and they send out their deepest sympathy to the family. Any additional questions can be directed to my office.
