A thirty-seven year old biologist from the National park Service has died of pulmonic plague. Autopsy performed on Eric York, indicates that the scientist has been infected with pulmonic plague, which he likely contracted after performing an autopsy on a mountain lion, which also may have been killed by the disease.  According to the officials from the National Park Service, York called in sick three days after performing autopsy on the animal and was found dead in his home three days later. Although Mr. York was the only person to come in direct contact with the animal. As a precaution, forty-nine individuals thought to have come within a six-foot distance of York received prophylactic antibiotics.Â
