Two Die In Chicago Legionnaires' Disease Outbreak



Two people have died from an outbreak of Legionnaires' Disease at a Chicago hotel.

The Department of Public Health announced the deaths this afternoon, saying the victims were guests at the J.W. Marriott Hotel. Health officials aren't sure how the hotel got the respiratory disease. At least eight people were sickened at the hotel from July 16th to August 15th. Last week, health officials and the hotel announced they were trying to reach over 800 guests who had stayed at the hotel during that time frame and may have been exposed.
