A family in Italy is experiencing a tragic Christmas loss as a mother and her 15-year-old daughter died from food poisoning after a festive dinner. Both presented symptoms of nausea and abdominal pain and were hospitalized, where the daughter died first, followed by the mother a few hours later. The father is hospitalized in critical condition. Police are investigating the case and have collected food samples from the family's home, including mushrooms, fish, seafood, and canned goods, to determine the source of the poisoning.
