Original article from Sunday 23 January 2011 :
Last Saturday a teenager from 14 years died in the village of Oppède in the Vaucluse. The cause of his death is currently unknown, but investigators focus on the trail of food poisoning.
The eve, the student went to eat with his father in a Quick restaurant located in the commercial area Cap Sud on the national 7 in Avignon. He had ordered, like his father, a hamburger «Extra Long Beef Pepper». A few hours after, both were considered violent headaches and vomiting.
The survey says that adolescence, fragile health, "could be a victim of a ruptured aneurysm related to stress and the convulsions that have accompanied his vomiting.. An autopsy was performed this afternoon to determine the exact causes of death. Catherine Champrenault, Attorney of the Republic of Avignon, has stated that “nothing has been revealed by the autopsy, or a cerebral edema, or pulmonary edema, so it is still not known the causes” and added that “the thesis of foodborne illness is neither excluded nor proven”. Expertise is underway and the results will be surely known before the end of the week.
As a precaution, fast food has been closed until further notice, a prefectoral Decree following. Food samples were also made. Quick branch announced that it «will face its responsibilities if the results showed involvement». The group said in a statement that "no other customer who ate in the establishment has complained or reported have been suffering..
This is outrageous ! Shame on you Quick ! When I see all those who also support Quick on shame on you fb page ! Quick, us is death !
You should know that the employees of Quick are not trained on hygiene problems and their serious consequences. Support personnel ( managers and directors ) are young people who do not have the authority or the vigilance necessary to verify that all tasks are performed in the rules. There is a big lack at this level. Real coaching is not one that exerts only a pressure to get the job done, but above all, monitoring of every moment and an effective presence of officials.
It's good. Anyway since when the Fast Food are good for your health? Everyone goes there anyway so stop. I think that's uin sandwich that makes this boy has died. Why him and not someone else who took this same sandwich? Must not be a controversy. This is not because this restaurant or serve as a Quick there is a tragic thing that's ca throughout france. It is of anything.
Today, we know that the Quick Manager that this case has ruined was out of question. The media lynching has destroyed his life, has ruined it. It is a psychic murder like the one that killed the doctor Ko lanta or Pierre Bérégovoy and a accused of Outreau. Shame on those who spread rumours and which condemns on rumours.
