A second death linked to a nationwide salmonella outbreak suspected to have been caused by tainted cucumbers has been reported.
A Texas woman died in late August, and salmonella was a “contributing factor,” Carrier Williams, a spokeswoman for the state’s Department of Health Services, said Wednesday. The woman reportedly had other health problems.
The death followed that of a 99-year-old San Diego woman, who succumbed on Aug. 17, according to California health officials.
