Tourist in South America died from peanut allergy

Harry James Kitto, a twenty-four-year-old British tourist from Falmouth, died in Argentina following a severe peanut allergic reaction. The inquest revealed that Kitto consumed a churro and hot chocolate at Café Tortoni in November 2025. Despite making checks and being repeatedly reassured by staff that the food contained no nuts, the items contained peanuts, leading to his death. The incident occurred while the tourist was visiting the popular South American destination for a holiday.
