After being picked up by his family and taken home, Wolobah began to experience an improvement in his condition. However, it was unfortunate that he was later discovered unconscious just as he was preparing to leave for his basketball tryouts. According to reports, his mother expressed her concern about the situation.
After being swiftly transported to a nearby medical facility, the young teenager tragically succumbed to their injuries and was officially declared deceased.
The confirmation of the cause of death is still pending as autopsy results are awaited.
According to Wolobah's mother, Lois, she expressed her belief to NBC 10 Boston that her son's passing was a result of complications arising from consuming the spicy snack.
On the company's official website, a warning is issued regarding the potential negative health consequences associated with consuming the chip.
The challenge primarily evaluates an individual's ability to endure without consuming any food or beverages after consuming the chip, measuring the duration of their resilience. According to the Paqui brand's website, it is explicitly stated that their chip is intended for consumption by adults only. In addition, it is recommended that individuals seek medical assistance if they experience difficulties in breathing, episodes of fainting, or persistent feelings of nausea.
The brand advises individuals to wash their hands with soap immediately after coming into contact with the chip. Furthermore, it is strongly recommended to refrain from touching one's eyes or any other sensitive areas.
According to the website, this year's chip is made with a combination of Carolina Reaper Pepper and Naga Viper Pepper.

According to a report from Boston 25, Worcester Schools Superintendent Rachel Monarrez expressed her empathy for the family, friends, and teachers of the individual in question, acknowledging the difficulty they must be experiencing in this situation. As a mother and educator herself, Monarrez emphasized her inability to fully comprehend the challenges faced by those close to the individual.
