A similar case occurred in October 2023, when a 24-year-old man was declared dead due to food poisoning after consuming shawarma from an eatery in Kochi, Kerala. The restaurant, identified as Le Hayath, was shut down by authorities following the incident.

Rahul Nair, a resident of Kottayam, had ordered the shawarma on October 18, 2023. However, he fell severely ill after consuming the food and was admitted to Sunrise Hospital in Kakkanad on October 19. 

Despite being discharged the same day, Nair's health deteriorated rapidly, leading to readmission on October 22 due to weakness. Later, Nair passed away, according to the hospital's statement.
