One Dead, 15 Hospitalized Due To Mystery Illness
TROY, Mich. -- One man has died and 15 others are hospitalized after a mysterious illness spreads to residents of an assisted-living facility in Troy.
Harry Mittell, 85, a resident at the Alterra Clare Bridge memory care residences on Northfield Parkway, died after suffering from a mysterious illness. It was initially reported that the deceased resident was a 100-year-old man, but the Oakland County Medical Examiner later reported the man's correct age.
Fifteen other residents at the facility were taken to local hospitals to be treated for similar symptoms.
Eleven residents, ages 75 to 90, were taken to Royal Oak Beaumont to be treated; three residents, 82 to 86, were taken to Beaumont in Troy; and one man in his 80s was admitted to Crittenton Hospital Medical Center in Rochester.
Paramedics wore biohazard suits as a precaution as they placed residents into ambulances.

This happened one week after all our units were trained in full Biohazard suits and Mark 1 kits.
Here is a neat image gallery where you can see our PFR (Tahoe) Unit, BLS (Van) units, and larger ALS units.
