Authorities are saying that an 11-year-old boy may have had an deathly allergic reaction to the smell of seafood cooking in his grandparents home. Cameron Jean-Pierre, a young Canarsie resident, was found unresponsive around 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening at his home on East 82nd Street.

Cameron’s mother, Jody Pottingr said the family currently lives in Piscataway, New Jersey but the boy had been visiting his grandparents in Brooklyn for the holidays.

“He went to his grandma, which is my mom, just to wish her a happy new year and just to let her know that he loved her,” Pottingr told ABC7. “He went back to 82nd Street, where his dad’s mom and the aunt were cooking what they call in the Caribbean household salt fish.”

Cameron’s mother said the boy was asthmatic and kept a nebulizer with him at all times. Police say the smell of the fish possibly triggered an asthma attack. Steven Jean-Pierre, the boy’s father, who was with him at the time tried to give him the nebulizer machine. His attack wasn’t out of the ordinary and the nebulizer had worked previously, but this time Cameron wasn’t receiving enough air.

Cameron was rushed to Brookdale hospital where he was pronounced dead.

“We know that he’s allergic to fish,” Pottingr told the news. “When he was in kindergarten, they gave fish sticks at lunch one day and he threw up.”

Proteins may be released into the air during the cooking of seafood that the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology warns people who are allergic to stay away from any place where fish may be being cooked.

The city medical examiner will determine Camron’s exact cause of death. His cause of death remains under investigation.
