Okay...why would they do a crowdfunding for an autopsy, would not an autopsy
be an "automatic" thing in this case...???

"New York City school shut down when toddler dies after eating grilled
cheese
A school in New York City on Wednesday shut down after a 3-year-old boy,
severely allergic to dairy, died after eating a grilled cheese sandwich,
reports said.
Elijah Silvera died on Nov. 3 after he went into anaphylactic shock from
eating a grilled cheese at the Seventh Avenue Center for Family Services in
Harlem, The Daily News reported. He was rushed to the Harlem Hospital
pediatric emergency room where he died.
Silvera was served the sandwich €śdespite them [the school] knowing and
having documented that he has a severe allergy to dairy,€ť according to a
GoFundMe page. The New York City Health Department released a statement late
Wednesday that the school will remain close as the investigation continues,
Fox 8 reported.
"There is nothing more important than the safety of our children and we are
deeply saddened by this tragedy. We will get to the bottom of what happened
here. In the meantime, were closing the Center for Family Services and
continuing to aggressively investigate what happened and whether the
facility could have done something differently to prevent this tragedy," the
statement read.
Silveras GoFundMe page has raised nearly $18,500 and will go towards an
independent autopsy report..."

I heard of this on the radio. Just my opinion but a kid that young with a
life threatening allergy should not be in daycare at all. Life threatening
means that if another kid spilled some milk or even ate cheese then touched
something the allergic kid might touch, the kid could die. Older kids should
know enough to take precautions.
A teen died in this area due to cross contamination at a school cafeteria.
She too had a dairy allergy. School served some kind of fried potatoes. One
with cheese, one without. They used the tongs from the cheese potatoes on
the non-cheese. That's all it took. Again, my opinion but kids like this
should bring lunch from home. Much safer.
