Man Dies From Bacterial Meningitis After Being Sent Home From the Hospital

Bryant del la Cruz’s family is struggling to come to terms with his quick and unexpected death from bacterial meningitis. His cousin Marta Lucia Gonzalez and uncle Hans Martinez spoke about it. Baptist Hospital, which treated him, said in a statement that it could not provide specific information about treatment because of patient privacy laws, but said it is working closely with the Miami-Dade County Health Department.
