As they were presumably still capable of breeding, not eligible for a Darwin award.
To be eligible for a Darwin award, a person must be unable to pass on their obviously defective genes. This may be achieved by death, or less commonly by destroying or removing the breeding equipment.
Possibly an honourable mention instead.
One of my favourite Darwin awards was an American whose car radio ceased to function due to a blown fuse, they used a live rifle round as a substitute. In time the passage of current fired the round, which removed or destroyed the breeding parts.
