Stepfather Charged in Fentanyl Death of Kentucky Boy Initially Thought to Have Died from Allergic Reaction

The stepfather faces multiple charges including drug trafficking and manslaughter after the boy's death was mistakenly attributed to a strawberry allergy.

8-year-old Trey Major Harris from Kentucky died from fentanyl intoxication, not an allergic reaction to strawberries as initially believed.
The boy's stepfather, Antonio Person, has been charged with second-degree manslaughter and drug trafficking.
Investigations revealed no harmful substances in the strawberries from a school fundraiser, initially suspected in the boy's death.
The boy's family had misinterpreted his symptoms as an allergic reaction, leading to a delayed discovery of the true cause of death.
Fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid, was found in the home and is linked to the boy's death.
