Sunday, October 7, 2001WEST PALM BEACH -- The deadly germ that killed a 63-year-old Lantana man is found in nature and is not a genetically engineered hybrid resistant to penicillin, officials said Saturday.
Coupled with the lack of new anthrax cases, the finding further weakened the theory that Robert Stevens was the victim of terrorists who were intent on massive casualties, like those on Sept. 11. Stevens, who officials say died from inhaling anthrax spores, was cremated Saturday after an autopsy, during which more specimens were taken and shipped overnight to laboratories at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. . . http://www.gopbi.com/news/story1.html
