  • On December 1, 2021, Benedict collapsed at school after vomiting twice from a biscuit brought from home, following a fresh-air break, leading to his death.
  • A teaching assistant administered an adrenaline auto-injector, CPR was attempted, and coroner Elizabeth Gray confirmed food-induced anaphylaxis as the cause of death.
  • The Benedict Blythe Foundation, in partnership with The Allergy Team and ISBA, launched a schools allergy safety code and calls for stronger allergy laws.
  • The inquest, ongoing until July 11, will hear from educators, healthcare workers, emergency responders, and officials, but the exact allergen trigger remains unknown.
