Death by ice cream

|
Death by ice cream refers to death caused by ice cream. Documented occurrences In August 2010, a 16-year-old teenager from Italy died after consuming gluten ice cream; he was a sufferer of Coeliac disease, a type of gluten intolerance. Shortly after his death, La Spiga, the seafood restaurant he and his family patronised demanded that the bill, which amounted to more than a thousand dollars, be paid. The boy's father expressed outrage at such a callous request, labelling it as "absurd, barbarous and cynical". In popular culture In his humour column for the British newspaper The Independent, journalist Miles Kington wrote about a fictitious museum called the National Ice Cream Death Museum, which recollects fatalities caused by ice cream. |
