The young boy is said to have fallen ill on the way home from school on Friday. He died in hospital over the weekend. The boy, who went to a primary school in Kongsvinger, is said to have ingested a food he could not tolerate. Police attorney Henning Klauseie tells news that they will investigate the case, at the request of the family. – The aim is to find out if someone is to blame for the tragic death or if there are unfortunate circumstances. There is an unexpected death of a young boy. We believe that we have to do an investigation into that, he says. Will question school pupils It is still uncertain which food the school pupil is said to have ingested. It will be appropriate to question a number of people. A forensic examination of the boy will also be requested, says Klauseie. – It is natural that the investigation includes questioning people at the school who had contact with him on the last day of school before the weekend. But there are currently no suspects in the case. REQUEST FROM THE FAMILY: – We have received an inquiry from the bereaved’s solicitor requesting that the death be investigated. And we have decided to open an investigation into the case, says police attorney Henning Klauseie.
