Within a few days, Mr. Smith experienced violent vomiting and excruciating abdominal agony that caused him to flail his arms and legs.
Debbie Bonnell, his daughter, stated that they would pray while holding his hand during these episodes.
The outbreak was announced by public health officials two days after he passed away on October 20, and the onions in the Quarter Pounder were identified as the most probable source of the E. coli.
Mr. Smith and his wife, Doris Smith, both ordered the renowned Quarter Pounder from the fast-food chain. However, Mrs. Smith, who is allergic to onions, forfeited her portion to her husband.
Mrs. Smith disclosed to CBS Colorado, “I took mine off and gave it to him.” I am currently experiencing feelings of remorse as a result of the scallions I provided him with.
