Phoenix, Arizona - Tests show a wildlife biologist at Grand Canyon National Park most likely died of plague.
The death of 37-year-old Eric York last week triggered a health scare that led to about 30 people being given antibiotics as a precaution.
An official who has been briefed on the test results confirmed Friday that they were positive for plague, although the test isn't absolutely conclusive. The official didn't want to be named because an official announcement hasn't yet been made.
The National Park Service plans a midday press briefing to formally announce the test results. Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Stamps.com
