Brit teen, 18, dies after taking one sip of Pina Colada while on holiday with pals on Costa del Sol | The Sun

A BRIT teen due to study medicine at Cambridge has died on holiday in the Costa Del Sol after taking just one sip of Pina Colada.

Shiv Mistry, 18, suffered a severe allergic reaction to the drink after it was made with cow cream rather than coconut cream.

The high achiever had a deadly dairy allergy and went into anaphylactic shock, tragically dying soon after on 8 July.

A GoFundMe page has been set up in his memory by his uncle to raise money for Anaphylaxis UK.

The page reads: "He was in Spain with his friends to celebrate finishing his exams and looking forward to attending Claire College at Cambridge University to study Medicine later this year.

"Shiv had an allergic reaction and went into anaphylactic shock.

"His friends, medics and police tried to revive him, but it was not possible. Shiv has lived with a dairy allergy since he was a little boy."

The teen's uncle also revealed he had only recently turned 18.
