Gombak Police chief ACP Noor Ariffin Mohamad Nasir said the 17-year-old boy was alleged to have eaten the food which his mother brought home after attending an event at the school on Saturday.
"The victim was said to have experienced diarrhoea after eating the food before falling unconscious at 1.30 pm yesterday. He was pronounced dead by the paramedics called by his father," he said in a statement today.
