Death of Jean Teulé: “Dying of food poisoning when you are in good health is very rare” – Le Parisien

To the sudden loss of Jean Teulé was added another, violent element: the reason for his disappearance. After eating in a Parisian restaurant, the 69-year-old best-selling writer and popular TV figure is believed to have died of cardiac arrest following food poisoning this weekend. According to the Paris prosecutor’s office, an investigation has been opened to determine the circumstances. Eating contaminated food can therefore be a cause of death? “It depends on his state of health”, answers Professor Robert Benamouzig, the head of the gastroenterology department at the Avicenne hospital (AP-HP) in Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis).
