Whenever people go to the beach the only thing that they can think of is how they could spend a day full of fun and relaxation. But what if it will be the cause of your death?
A mother, Karen Yeagar shares the unfortunate news that happened to his 26-year old son Cason Yeagar who passed away after he was contracted by a flesh-eating bacteria.
Cason and his friends decided to take a day off and have some fun. They went to a beach in Pine Island beach in Hernando County.
While swimming on a waist-deep water, Cason got the Vibro Vunificus a kind of bacteria that lives in a warm salt water. It gets on the body when there is a wound exposed to the water.
After being infected with this bacteria, Cason was immediately brought to the hospital for treatment but it was too late. 2 days passed and Cason died.
On June 16, Cason died at the Villages Regional Hospital. But the Lake County Medical Examiner says that the young man's cause of death occurred naturally.
But what saddens Karen more is the negligence of the officials to say that there is a bacteria that lives in that river. She want the Health Department to warn other people from staying at the beach because it could harm them, even to death.
But Cason is not the only victim of that bacteria in Florida. There had been a total number of 10 people who have died because of the same bacteria and 31 were infected.
Do you think that Cason's death occurred naturally or is this the cause of the flesh-eating bacteria? Tell us what you think. Share your thoughts below.
