“A post-mortem exam has revealed Luke died of natural causes including septicaemia, Lemierre syndrome (a form of bacterial infection), and necrotising fasciitis (a type of flesh-eating disease).”
Wow, apparently the definition of natural causes has changed from what I’m used to. 🤔
“”Wow, apparently the definition of natural causes has changed from what I’m used to.””
That’s for sure. Normally flesh eating bacteria would be caused from an injury of some kind but nothing is said about any injury. How horrible for the young man and his family.
Many years ago - at least 20 - there was a case in Fountain Valley, CA of a woman who had a “blue toe”...in a lot of pain and her husband demanded she go to the hospital. I can’t find any reference to that story online but they failed to see it was flesh eating bacteria and little by little performed surgery stripping the decaying flesh from her body. She didn’t survive, of course. I remember hearing an RN say at the time, “that’s why you stay away from hospitals.”
