Ping. The dishwasher was found in a pool of blood outside the restaurant. Initially they thought he had been murdered.
“Authorities said the man was covered, from head to toe, in blood.”

Why did CBS report this as a fatal shooting?
Could it be that Eboli? I understand it makes you bleed from any opening. Soo it is natural cause or murder? someone is covering up here.
Ping to some California Freepers and a few who might travel through California.
News of a fatal respiratory illness in a restaurant worker in Malibu made me wonder about all State and local laws concerning restaurants.
There is no State law requiring food handlers to have a TB test. There is only an advisory which includes an option for low-cost or free TB testing:
Tuberculosis and Food Establishments
The Department of Public Health Tuberculosis Control Program, offers tuberculosis testing and treatment to all persons residing in Los Angeles County at a low cost or for free.
Public health officials have been concerned with the increasing numbers of tuberculosis (TB) cases. Officials hope to decrease the number of TB cases in Los Angeles County by educating the public about the disease, the use of screening tests, and the treatment of cases. One group that is targeted are food workers.
Tuberculosis is not transmitted to patrons through food; however, like any other work place, infectious food handlers may transmit their disease to fellow workers.
TB is caused by a bacterium that in most people remains inactive for years following first infection. In this stage a person harbors the organism in the lung but is not contagious. This is why testing for TB is important. TB may become active and cause a destructive disease of the lungs. In this active stage, a person shows symptoms and can spread the disease.
A worker with active tuberculosis can spread the disease by sneezing or coughing, which are TB's most common symptoms. Daily exposures to an infectious person on the job increases risk of transmission of the disease.
The Department of Health Services, Public Health Programs and Services, offers tuberculosis testing and treatment to all persons residing in Los Angeles County at a low cost or for free.
Public health officials ask that food establishment owners or operators have their employees tested for TB since the disease is curable with proper treatment. For additional information regarding this disease, contact the Los Angeles County Tuberculosis Control Program at (213) 744-6160.
Health Advisory Tuberculosis and Food Establishments
There is a law for food handlers/restaurant workers requiring them to have a California Food Handler Card which shows that they have taken a food handling safety course.
"You will have to take a basic food safety training course with a score of 70 percent or better. The food handler may obtain a California Food Handler Card..."From an earlier story:
