Man dies just 28 hours after being infected by 'flesh-eating' bacteria contracted while he was wading in a river

A man has died after he contracted a ‘flesh-eating’ bacterial infection from seawater. Henry Konietzky, 59, died after he was exposed to the deadly bacteria while wading in the Halifax River in Florida. Just this year nine deaths in the Volusia and Flager counties have been linked to the Vibrio vulnificus bacteria which normally lives in warm seawater. Mr Konietzky died just 28 hours after he was infected while setting crab traps on Saturday, knee-deep in seawater.
