A teenager succumbed to apparently a severe allergic reaction after eating a takeaway meal from an Indian restaurant. Subsequently, two persons have been arrested in this connection.
A budding actress, Megan Lee, 15, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire who was believed to have a nut allergy, suffered the allergic reaction after eating the Indian meal from Royal Spice in Oswaldtwistlee. She was taken to the Royal Blackburn Hospital but died two days later on New Year's Day.
“Megan Lee had eaten food from an Indian takeaway before suffering an apparent allergic reaction. Two men aged 37 from Rossendale and 38 from Blackburn have been arrested on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter by gross negligence and are currently in police custody. We are working closely in liaison with colleagues from Trading Standards and Environmental Health,” Lancashire police was quoted as saying by the Guardian.
A post-mortem examination has taken place, but full results as to the cause of death are still not fully known.
