A tragic incident unfolded when a 13-year-old boy died after a piece of cheese was thrown at him by a classmate during lunch at school. The boy, who reportedly had a severe dairy allergy, went into anaphylactic shock shortly after contact with the dairy product. Emergency services were called, and staff attempted to administer medical aid, but the reaction proved fatal.
Witnesses stated the cheese made contact with the boy’s skin, triggering the allergic response. Despite efforts to save him, including the use of an EpiPen and rushed hospitalization, he was later pronounced dead. The incident has left students, teachers, and parents in shock and mourning.
The school released a statement expressing deep sorrow and confirming a full investigation was underway. Authorities questioned the student who threw the cheese, trying to determine whether it was a prank gone horribly wrong or something more intentional.
The boy’s parents had reportedly informed the school of his severe allergy, and he carried medication with him. The tragic case has raised urgent questions about allergy awareness, school policies, and the seriousness of food allergies. Tributes have poured in for the young victim, described as bright, kind, and full of promise.
His family is calling for greater education around allergies, especially in schools, to prevent another child from suffering the same fate. Investigations are ongoing.
