Peanut butter Kiss Didn't Cause Death

SAGUENAY, Quebec (AP) - A 15-year-old girl with a peanut allergy did not die from kissing her boyfriend following his snack of peanut butter, a Quebec coroner said Friday, countering a report that drew international attention late last year.

But Saguenay coroner Michel Miron said wouldn't reveal the cause of death because he hasn't yet submitted his final report to the provincial coroner's office and he is also waiting on some final test results. (snip)

``The Canadian Association of Food Allergies intended to use the Desforges case to launch an education campaign,'' he said. ``I had to tell them the cause of death was different than first believed.

I'm really curious what the cause of death might be. On the one hand, I'm glad it wasn't the peanuts. I'm deathly allergic, and my 8 y.o. daughter just this week was diagnosed severely allergic to peanuts. On the other hand, I'm sorry about this, because it will give the non-believers - those who don't believe allergies can be that severe - ammunition against REASONABLE accomodations.

I hope this isn't a dupe - I did a search:-)

1. What, no responses?

I seem to remember a large thread about this story when it happened. No one interested because of all the other stories circulating today??

Oh well,
