    To die in a drive through buying chicken is not a good way at all. I am sorry about this. You leave home to go buy KFC and boom you dead. Waw. I wonder what his family must be feeling now. So sad

    Condolences to the family and while this is indeed sad there’s a lesson to be learned here – we must watch what we eat. Too much fat, salt and sugar in our diets, especially without adequate exercise, is detrimental to our health. May God comfort his loved ones

    Seems like Regan Calliste took ‘fast food’ to a whole new level! It’s a tragic situation, but sometimes gallows humor is the only way to cope. My condolences to his family.
