Student with peanut allergy dies after years in a coma
A YOUNG woman with a serious peanut allergy has died after suffering an anaphylactic shock in West London.
Tania Kaur Khasriya had been dining in a restaurant in Southall in July 2018 when she ate a peanut, and passed away four years later after never regaining consciousness.
The 24-year-old student from Ealing had been first diagnosed with the deadly nut allergy in 1998, when she was only a year old.
Opening her inquest at West London Coroners Court on Tuesday last week, Coroner Lydia Brown said: “She had an anaphylactic shock to eating a peanut in a restaurant in July 2018 and has since suffered a disorder of consciousness.”
She was immediately rushed to Ealing Hospital for treatment, but after her condition failed to improve, she was relocated to Chalfont Lodge Nursing Centre in Buckinghamshire.
The centre is a purpose-built residential and nursing care facility that provides help for people with neurological conditions, physical disabilities and dementia.
