Karanbir Singh Cheema, known as Karan, suffered a serious allergic reaction to the cheese slice at his school in Greenford, West London, just before midday on June 28, 2017.

The 13-year-old was severely allergic to wheat, gluten, all dairy products, eggs and nuts and he was also asthmatic and suffered from atopic eczema.

I’ll pray for peace for the family of the victim. This is a senseless act of crime and violence too.

How tragic.

A slice of cheese? For real?

This is so tragic, I really feel for the family. The thought that something so innocent and simple could have been used to kill their family member must be heart wrenching.

Crime.

I agree with him. Who would know that throwing a piece of cheese on someone would be that deadly. Even being allergic. I would think just a break out. Staff administered two spoons of piriton, an EpiPen.

I don't think the child should be charged as a criminal for this - it sounds like an innocent prank gesture, no one would think of cheese as killing someone, how tragic for the family too.
