A two-year-old girl, Sadie Salt, dies after a suspected choking incident at a nursery in Radlett, Hertfordshire. Reports say she chokes while eating lunch at Mini Learners and is taken to hospital, where she dies two days later.
The incident occurred on 12 November 2020, with coverage describing that she was eating alongside other young children at the nursery. Multiple outlets report that legal action is taken against the nursery, with one stating prosecution has been launched. While headlines across outlets use similar phrasing about “choking on sausage,” the reports largely focus on the same timeline: the lunch incident, her removal to hospital, and her death days later.
Sources differ mainly in emphasis and wording, such as characterizing the death as “heartbreaking” or spelling out that she was provided a sausage for lunch. However, they converge on the core facts: the child’s age, location (Mini Learners in Radlett), date (November 2020), suspected choking at nursery, and subsequent death in hospital.
