The 2-year-old who died of kidney failure set off by E. coli last month ate a spinach blend tainted with the same strain of the bacteria that has sickened nearly 200 people since mid-September, making his the second confirmed death in the outbreak, health officials say.
“It’s not a surprise,” a spokesman for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Ross Mason, said Wednesday of the conclusion that the death of the toddler, Kyle Allgood of Chubbuck, Idaho, on Sept. 20 was linked to the outbreak. “We figured that would be the case.” "
