Italian prosecutors have launched a manslaughter inquiry after a 14-year-old British girl with a peanut allergy died from anaphylactic shock while vacationing in Rome. The teenager fell ill after dining with her family at a pizzeria in the Gianicolense district, where she unknowingly consumed a dessert containing peanut traces in dried fruit. She was rushed to San Camillo hospital but died shortly after arrival. The incident has prompted an investigation into whether the restaurant was aware of her allergy. The British embassy is assisting the family, and local authorities are inspecting the restaurant for allergen traces.
