    An autopsy will be performed on the body of a 15-year-old girl in Quebec's Saguenay region who officials believe died from an allergic reaction to her boyfriend's kiss.

    The girl was allergic to peanuts, and while she did not actually consume the nuts herself, officials believe she reacted after kissing her boyfriend who had eaten peanut butter.

    The apparently fatal kiss took place last Sunday in Jonquière, Que.

    Although an adrenaline shot was administered almost immediately, the teen did not recover, Montreal newspaper La Presse reports.

    The girl was rushed to hospital, where she eventually died after suffering respiratory failure.
