Influenza B sent him to the hospital and got an MRSA infection and pneumonia there.
Edit: you guys are going nuts down there. Staph infections are a threat at any hospital. Nobody “injected” him.
Edit edit: spelling
You could actually "give" someone MRSA if you have the resources. All it takes is exposure, and it's extremely hard to combat medically. I've never even thought about it being used in foul play, but it's doable.
I mean it's doable, but would be extremely hard. Even if they injected it directly into his bloodstream there would be do guarantee he would contact a fatal strain.
It's easy to catch at a hospital
I mean it's got a 27% fatality rate. It might be easy to catch, but not to guarantee you will die.
They already had the flu, that might have complicated things for the patient
Oh yeah, it definitely did. I'm just saying though if you want to assassinate someone MRSA isn't really a good choice.
If you know they have a sulfa drug intolerance, it works well
Okay, did the guy who dies have a sulfa drug intolerance then?
No idea
Fair enough.
it's got a high level of plausible deniability
So do a lot of diseases with a much higher fatality rate.
No, but if it wasn’t, he might have “caught” some other complication
I mean its still a gamble unless you have someone in the hospital infecting him, and if you've got that, why bother? Why not just have him die of a bad case of pneumonia?
