Twenty-nine people at Carnegie Mellon University have an intestinal illness that causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps, the Allegheny County Health Department said yesterday.

I believe it was last week that 300 University of North Carolina students came down with the same symptoms.

Wednesday, Orange County health officials said test results have ruled out two common causes of food poisoning, so they are still unsure what caused an estimated 300 students to get ill last week.

Composite Released in Fatal Hit-and-Run




Dec. 12, 2003
Houston Chronicle

Police have released a composite drawing of a motorist who sped away after his van jumped the curb and killed a chemist walking on a sidewalk in the Texas Medical Center.

Robert Leslie Burghoff, 45, of The Woodlands was killed in the 1600 block of South Braeswood on Nov. 20. He was studying the virus plaguing cruise ships, police said.

Witnesses described the van as white, and wreckage at the scene matched a Ford E-series van, 1997 to 2003 model.

The driver was described as a short Hispanic man in his 50s with a slightly rounded face. Anyone with information should call the HPD hit-and-run division at 713-247-4065.
