Police in Kentucky are investigating after an 8-year-old boy died after eating strawberries from a school fundraiser.

The Madisonville Police Department said officers were called to a home around 6:30 a.m. Friday for an 8-year-old boy who was having trouble breathing and was unresponsive.

His parents told authorities that on Thursday he “had eaten several strawberries from a high school fundraiser the night before.”

On Thursday, the young boy began experiencing symptoms and his parents gave him benadryl and soaked him in a bath.

Authorities did not say if the boy had preexisting allergies to strawberries.

The department warned the community not to eat any strawberries that we sold the Madisonville North Hopkins High School and Hopkins County Central High School athletics.

The health department said that there were 443 flats distributed by North and 535 flats distributed by Central. The strawberries were distributed by Juicy Fruit LLC, Southern Grown and Sizemore Farms.

“Currently, the Department of Public Health Environmentalists are taking samples of the strawberries to the state lab for testing,” the health department said.

The boy’s identity has not been released.
