A key witness in the beating case of Giants fan Bryan Stow at Dodger Stadium died suddenly, apparently of an allergic food reaction.

According to law enforcement sources familiar with the case, Matthew Lee died Sunday after eating a salad that apparently contained nuts, which caused the allergic reaction. The coroner has not determined a cause of death, however.

“Unexpectedly?” That word carries a lot of baggage these days.

“Matthew Lee died Sunday after eating a salad that apparently contained nuts, which caused the allergic reaction. The coroner has not determined a cause of death,”
Wouldn't the coroner have determined the death if they are saying it was a food allergy? This is weird and I think it was the victim's friend. Sad

I think we are on the same page.

There was quite a bit of that kind of thing around the deBorgia’s, too. Also, nearly always, “unexpectedly.”

my sentiments exactly...and, not coincidentally, the exact expression I have when my 17-year old says, “Yes, Dad, OF COURSE I did my homework...”

The poor man, what a terrible way to die.

But that doesn't stop all the idiot newsreaders from parroting the "killed by peanuts" line.
