Hospital officials at U-W Health say one of the patients with Legionnaires’ disease has died. A spokesperson says the victim was being treated for severe health problems. That person’s name hasn’t been released. At the same time the death was announced, the hospital also reported a fifth person has tested positive for the Legionella bacteria. The first four cases were blamed on an issue with the Madison hospital’s hot water system, but the fifth patient reportedly contracted the bacteria outside the facility.
