EASTLAKE, Ohio -- One person is dead and 10 more people were sickened in a Legionnaires' disease outbreak in Lake County, the county's health commissioner said Wednesday.Lake County investigators, alongside officials with the Ohio Department of Health and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, believe the Legionella bacteria was likely spouted into the air from cooling towers at Consolidated Precision Products (CPP) in Eastlake, Lake County Health Commissioner Ron Graham said.Three of the people who got the disease very likely contracted the bacteria from the plant, including the 54-year-old Cuyahoga County who died as a result of the disease in August, Graham said.All three patients worked either at CPP or directly-neighboring businesses, and they all contracted the disease during the summer months.
