Angler dies after eating toadfishAugust 15, 2006
A man has died in north Queensland after eating what is believed to be a poisonous toadfish.
The 45-year-old Fijian man caught the fish off a jetty near Bowen on Sunday, police said.
He filleted and cooked the fish on a barbecue on Sunday afternoon before collapsing on the beachfront.
An ambulance took him to Bowen Hospital but, attempts to revive him failed.
Two other men with him at the barbecue survived.
It was not known how much of the fish, if any, they had eaten.
A post-mortem examination is due to be conducted today.
