What the heck was it, a virus, a bacteria? It just reeks of sensationalism.
 

The article was written for a popular, diverse audience.

For those interested in more technical details, I provided a link to the CDC pages on the subject.

From that linked CDC page:

Clostridium difficile [klo-STRID-ee-um dif-uh-SEEL] is a bacterium that causes diarrhea and more serious intestinal conditions such as colitis.

(Bold emphasis added)

very stupid article .......are we so arrogant that we don't expect 88 yro's to die of SOMETHING?

we are not GOD and we can not live forever, no matter how many diseases or disorders we conquer....

maybe people think that a violent death at the hands of a drunk driver would be a better way to go.....
