A 6-year-old girl named Angelica Vazquez has tragically died from E. coli. Her mother, Samantha Ocasio, believes it came from a contaminated McDonald’s Cheeseburger.
According to Ocasio, Vazquez ate McDonald’s just before going trick-or-treating on Halloween. The next morning, she became very ill. A few days later, Vazquez passed out and went into cardiac arrest while taking a bath. She died hours later
“It was fast. It was really, really fast,” Ocasio stated. “I don’t want it to happen to anybody else’s kids. I’m going to miss a lot of firsts with her, and it’s just a lot. I’m going to miss a lot.”
McDonald’s released a statement on Vazquez’s death – while also defending themselves from the accusations.
“We are absolutely heartbroken for this family’s loss, and we extend our deepest sympathies. We take any and every report of a potential food safety issue seriously,” McDonald’s stated.
