Girl, 6, Dies After Eating McDonald’s Cheese Burger

A 6-year-old girl in Massachusetts died of E. coli, and her mother alleges the poisoning came from a tainted McDonald’s cheeseburger.

“It was quick. Samantha Ocasio said of her daughter’s unexpected death, “It was really fast,” adding that she does not want it to happen to anybody else’s children, according to The New York Post.

Based in Springfield, Ocasio stated that her daughter, Angelica Vazquez, ate the food before trick-or-treating on Halloween and became ill the following evening.

As she began throwing up, Ocasio asked if she wanted to see a doctor, but the youngster answered, “No, my belly just hurts.”

At first, the mother of seven thought the illness was merely a stomach virus, so she gave her daughter Gatorade and instructed her to rest.

According to masslive.com, things spiralled out of control on November 2 when the girl passed out and suffered cardiac arrest during a bubble bath.

She was taken to Baystate Medical Centre and died 12 hours later. “I love you” was the last thing her daughter said, according to Ocasio.

According to health experts, the E. coli outbreak has been connected to onions served on some McDonald’s cheeseburgers after more than 100 people in 13 states were ill in recent weeks.

However, the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention reported no verified instances of the E. coli strain at McDonald’s in Massachusetts. “My main concern is, ‘OK, if it wasn’t McDonald’s, what is it?’… My daughter was pleased. “She was healthy,” Ocasio stated.

She said that Angelica Vazquez was the only person in her family to eat a McDonald’s cheeseburger, while her siblings preferred chicken nuggets.

McDonald’s stated that the epidemic was linked to slivered onions provided on Quarter Pounders, which differ from the chopped onions used on the smaller cheeseburger the girl ate. Following the outbreak, the restaurant chain announced that it had ceased serving the burgers and was locating a replacement slivered onion supplier for 900 locations.

“We are heartbroken for this family’s loss and express our sincere condolences. “We take any reports of potential food safety issues seriously,” the statement said.
