British schoolgirl, nine, killed by anaphylactic shock after eating ice-cream
A nine-year-old British schoolgirl who died on a Spanish family holiday was killed by an allergic reaction after just “one lick” of an ice cream, an inquest heard.
Habiba Chishti suffered the fatal reaction just hours after arriving on the Costa del Sol for a break with her father, mum and siblings in February 2019.
The kind girl was rushed to hospital after she went into a suspected anaphylactic shock after having eating the ice cream.
An inquest at Bradford Coroner’s Court today (Mon) heard how the tragic schoolgirl suddenly collapsed on Feb 16 while on holiday with her family.
Her distraught father, Dr Wajid Azam Chishti, told the court how he had bought her an ice cream with some chocolate sauce that afternoon.
He had asked the vendor three times if the sauce contained nuts and on three occasions was assured it didn’t.
