I saw the following in a newspaper a couple of weeks ago - how awful for this man, his family and friends.
Restaurant diner dies after allergic reaction
GRAPEVINE -- A 23-year-old man died Friday afternoon after possibly consuming peanut oil at a local restaurant, police said. Matthew Deluce of Toronto was eating lunch at Big Buck Brewery when he began to have an allergic reaction, police said. Deluce was assured by restaurant staff that his order would not contain any trace of peanuts, his companions told police. Deluce was taken to Baylor Medical Center, where he died just after 3:30 p.m. Employees of the restaurant were not aware that Deluce had a reaction, said Mark S. Provenzano, president and chief executive of the restaurant chain, which is based in Michigan. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family," Provenzano said. "We are conducting an internal investigation." Provenzano said the restaurant is not aware of any similar food allergy reactions and that few items on the menu contain traces of peanuts. "We will leave no stone unturned until we find out what happened," he said.
