Summary
A 24-year-old man with a known peanut allergy died after eating a curry paste that may have contained peanuts at a mental health facility — despite staff being aware of his allergy. Symptoms began within minutes, and he requested an EpiPen, but tragically passed away before emergency help could fully intervene. The coroner found multiple failures: a nurse ignored a peanut warning label, his allergy wasn’t consistently flagged in records, and his medication may have interfered with adrenaline treatment. His devastated mother called it a heartbreaking waste of life, urging systemic change to prevent future tragedies.
