Per the statement released by the FDA, the cause of death of that one person is still unknown as investigations are still ongoing.

In a statement issued by the FDA, after assessing the venue and the food served, they realised that unhygienic practices and poor handling of food took place at the food joint.

According to them, that could have resulted in the contamination of the food sold to the affected persons, which lead to the foodborne disease outbreak in the community.

@chriskwillis remarked:

If someone is dead, then suspending the operations of the eatery alone is not enough. Someone needs to face some punishment.

Are you going to also advise other food vendors to meet compliance thresholds?
