Legionnaires' traced to hot tub
A hot tub display at the Lowe's store in Christiansburg is the likely source of the New River Valley Legionnaires' disease outbreak last month that killed one man and sickened 15 other people. The hot tub was taken out of service a month ago and the outbreak is believed to be over. For more details, see today's front page.
