A Connecticut university has settled a lawsuit over the death of a 20-year-old student who choked during a campus pancake-eating contest.

Sacred Heart University in Fairfield agreed to an undisclosed settlement with the mom of Caitlin Nelson, a Kappa Delta sorority member who died three days after the Greek life competition in March 2017, Fox News reported.

The junior from Clark, N.J. was minutes into the charity fundraiser when she began to choke and collapsed, police said.

“She starts to choke on a pancake and someone recognized it — one of the nursing students at the competition — and she caught her and brought her slowly to the ground,” Fairfield police Lt. Robert Kalamaras told The Post at the time.

Nelson was rushed to a local hospital then transferred to New York’s Columbia University Medical Center, where she died days later.

An autopsy determined that she died from asphyxia due to obstruction of the airway.

The lawsuit blamed the university for approving the contest despite the potential dangers of quickly eating pancakes.

School officials declined to comment on the settlement, while a lawyer for Nelson’s mother, Rosanne Nelson, confirmed the case was resolved.
