Two men have been arrested over the death of a 15-year-old girl who died after apparently suffering an allergic reaction to a takeaway meal.

Megan Lee, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, died on 1 January, two days after she was admitted to hospital.

The men, both staff at the Royal Spice Indian takeaway on Union Road, are being held on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter by gross negligence.

A Lancashire Police and trading standards investigation is continuing.

A post-mortem examination has been carried out but police said the full results would not be known "for some time".

The arrested men, aged 37 and 38 and from Rossendale and Blackburn respectively, were later bailed until 7 July pending further inquiries.
