1 dead, 8 sick from salmonella after UK wedding

Nothing says, “I do” like wedding guests barfing and in this case, tragically, one dying after consuming the post-nuptial meal.

Rene Kwartz, 82, was one of four guests who needed hospital treatment after a meal at a hotel in Prestwich, Greater Manchester.

Three of those taken to hospital recovered and were discharged but Mrs Kwartz died last week.

Lawyers representing the guests at the wedding of Stephen Wicks and Jennifer Harris on August 8 are taking legal action against the outside caterers to the function.
