Eddie "Bozo" Miller | Large eater, 89
Eddie "Bozo" Miller, 89, a man known for his amazing capacity for food consumption, has died. Mr. Miller, who had struggled with diabetes and other health problems, died Monday of natural causes at his home in Oakland, Calif., said his son-in-law, Steve Blackman. Mr. Miller once downed 27 two-pound chickens at one sitting for a bet. The 5-foot-7 man weighed 330 pounds at his peak and claimed a number of celebrities as his friends. He worked at a variety of jobs, including bookie, fight manager and restaurant owner. But it was with knife and fork that he made his name. He told the Oakland Tribune in November that he once ate 12 club sandwiches in a row. He also was known for eating more than 300 ravioli at one time. -AP
