13 year old boy arrested in connection with the death of a fellow student after they suffered an allergic reaction at school




Police in the UK have arrested a 13 year old boy in connection with the death of a fellow student who died after he suffered an allergic reaction to something he ate.

The arrest comes after the young student died in hospital on Sunday afternoon.

It is understood the incident which occurred at William Perkin C of E High School in Greenford, west London, at around 11.30am on June 28, has led to police to launch an investigation.

Police say they are currently investigating the incident and they have confirmed a 13 year old student has been questioned about the circumstances which led to the students death.

Initial reports suggest the investigation is being conducted in the wake of the recent bullying trend that has seen vulnerable children being deliberately targeted by fellow students because of their food allergies.
