Ever seen the movie Cujo? It was a movie based on a Steven King novel where a Saint Bernard chases a rabbit down a rabbit hole and the dog sticks its head in it to find the rabbit and is instead viciously attacked by bats. The dog later becomes rabid and throughout the movie, kills three people, including a police officer and badly mangles a woman who later kills the dog after breaking a baseball bat over it and then impaling it before finally shooting it with a revolver.
Well, there has been something that happened like that before, except only much more horrifying. And it wasn’t animal to human. This was HUMAN to human. In May 2004, 20-year old William Beed Jr. arrived at a Texarkana, Arkansas hospital with severe mental status changes and a low-grade fever. Neurologic imaging indicated findings consistent with a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which expanded rapidly in the 48 hours after admission, leading to cerebral herniation and death. The doctors knew he had recently smoked crack cocaine and his symptoms were consistent with a crack overdose, so they ruled his death accordingly. Just two weeks prior to his hospitalization and death, he had spent two weeks in jail on drug charges in the state of Texas after he was hospitalized for ingesting crack. His organs were removed, harvested and given to five patients; two who received a kidney, one man who received a liver, another person who received an iliac artery during liver surgery and a fifth patient who died during surgery while receiving his lungs.
Twenty or so days later, they began developing lethargy, seizures, hypertension, neurological and respiratory problems followed by death. Their diagnosis: rabies. It was later discovered that the 20-year old donor had been bitten by a rabid bat.
Got any more real-life horror stories like this one?
