The parents of a Leeds university student who died after eating a takeaway pizza have demanded to learn the "full truth" about their son's death after an inquest was opened earlier this week.
James Atkinson, 23, had a known peanut allergy and may have suffered anaphylaxis having eaten only one slice of a pizza he ordered from Deliveroo. His parents have called for the "full truth" and pushed for the inquest into their son's death, who they say was always "so careful" with his allergy.
James, who died on July 10, 2020, had ordered food from the same premises before. However, he was not aware that the restaurant had begun using peanut powder as one of the ingredients when making a chicken tikka masala pizza. His parents, Jill Atkinson and Stuart are hoping the inquest will finally reveal some answers about their son's death.
