![Pic shows: Humberto Moura Fonseca died after downing 25 shots of vodka.
A drinking competition went tragically wrong when a student died after downing 25 shots of vodka.
Humberto Moura Fonseca, 23, had been partying at the university of Julio de Mesquita in the city of Bauru, in southwest Brazil, when organisers suggested the drinking game to see who could drink 25 shots in less than 60 seconds.
Pal Rodrigo Pancetti, 23, said: "We were all having a great time and someone came up with the idea of the drinking competition.
"I knew I'd already had too much and there was no way I was going to be able to drink five, let alone 25.
"But Humberto and the others were really up for it.
"On his Facebook theres a quote, a motto, from the Russian poet Vladimir Maiakovski which says It is better to die from vodka than from boredom.
"I never thought that would become reality.
"But once he had finished he said he felt ill and suddenly collapsed.
"We assumed it was because he was drunk but then six others also collapsed, including the winner, so we called an ambulance."
Medical crews rushed the students to hospital but Fonesca died on the way.
A hospital spokesman said: "They all had alcohol poisoning and are in a critical state, with three still in intensive care."
Now police say they are looking to charge the organisers with homicide.
A police spokesman said: "Two fourth year students at the university have been arrested for organising the event without a licence and for potentially causing the death of the student."
A spokesman for the university said: "We very much regret the death of this young man and our condolences go out to his family and friends.
"We would like to remind students that drinking alcohol in the university is banned."

Σε τραγωδία εκτυλίχθηκε ένα φοιτητικό πάρτι του πανεπιστημίου Julio de Mesquita στη Βραζιλία.
Ο 23χρονος Humberto Moura Fonseca ανταγωνιζόταν με συμφοιτητές του για το ποιος θα πιει πιο γρήγορα σφηνάκια. Ο νεαρός κατάφερε να πιει 25 σφηνάκια βότκας μέσα σε ένα λεπτό.
Ο νεαρός κατέρρευσε μπροστά στα μάτια των φίλων του και ξεψύχησε στη διαδρομή για το νοσοκομείο.
Ένας φίλος του, ο Rodrigo Pancetti, είπε η παρέα διασκέδαζε και κάποιος είχε την φαεινή ιδέαν να κάνουν διαγωνισμό ποτού. "Ηξερα ότι είχα πιει πάρα πολύ και όταν κατάλαβα ότι δεν άντεχα να πιω άλλο σταμάτησα", είπε.
Προσέθεσε δε ότι o 23χρονος είχε γράψει στο Facebook μια φράση-μότο από ένα ποίημα του Vladimir Maiakovski "Καλύτερα να πεθάνεις από βότκα παρά από πλήξη".
"Δεν περίμενα ποτέ ότι αυτό θα γινόταν πραγματικότητα", είπε ο Rodrigo.
Μάλιστα, ο 23χρονος δεν ήταν ο μόνος που κατέρρευσε από το ποτό. Ακόμα έξι φοιτητές που έλαβαν μέρος στον ίδιο διαγωνισμό λιποθύμησαν και τρεις από αυτούς νοσηλεύονται σε κρίσιμη κατάσταση στο νοσοκομείο.
Εκπρόσωπος του νοσοκομείου ανακοίνωσε πως δηλητηριάστηκαν από το αλκοόλ.
