LONDON: A youth who ate butter chicken collapsed and died. Joseph Higgins, a 27-year-old man collapsed and died immediately after eating the chicken curry he bought as parcel. Meanwhile, the police say that there is nothing wrong with the chicken curry and the cause of the young man's death was an allergy.

Joseph's death was caused by an allergy to the almonds used in the curry. Joseph had a condition called anaphylaxis, which is an allergy to nuts.

Joseph, a mechanic, was aware of his medical condition, but he ate butter chicken cooked with almonds because he had eaten food that contained nuts many times before. An EpiPen was taken immediately after unconsciousness, but the drug did not respond.

Joseph collapsed on December 28, 2022 and succumbed to death on January 4, 2023. The incident was being investigated as it was an unnatural death. The process was completed this year.

The court observed that action could not be taken against the takeaway as the menu said butter chicken had almonds. Joseph's organs were donated posthumously as per his wishes.
