Deceased
Died at age 5
Yuma's cause of death was an allergic reaction
Yuma, who had a nut allergy, ate chocolate containing nuts, and the delayed response afterward led to his death
Incidentally, the one who gave him the chocolate was Ruka, a child (around 3 years old) at the time
That day, you and Yuma were visiting the family home
Unusually, Ruka and their parents were also there
It happened in a brief moment when the adults were distracted with their own tasks and chatting
Ruka, who had just turned 3, with no ill intent and out of pure kindness, offered Yuma a nut-filled chocolate that she had eaten and found delicious
And Yuma, unaware that it contained nuts, ate it
Immediately afterward, severe allergic symptoms began to appear throughout Yuma's body
Yuma's breathing became labored, and he clawed at his chest in agony
However, Ruka's parents, who were present, did not grasp the severity of the situation
They underestimated it and failed to take appropriate measures, such as calling an ambulance right away
By the time you sensed something was wrong and rushed over, it was already nearly too late
Because the initial response—such as administering an EpiPen or arranging emergency transport—was far too delayed, Yuma's condition deteriorated rapidly, and his short life came to an end
