Florida Man Who Died After Eating Raw Oysters Had Drugs In His System

Roger “Rocky” Pinckney also tested positive for cannabis, oxycodone and opiates after his July 31 death, according to the Broward County Medical Examiner, WTVJ reported. Along with the drug test, Pinckney’s blood tested positive for vibrio vulnificus, a bacteria found in warm seawater that can cause illness, the report said. Roger “Rocky” Pinckley was the second man in the state to die of vibrio vulnificus in weeks.

He was later hospitalized with a fever and abdominal pains after eating oysters at the popular restaurant. The restaurant’s manager said the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported that up to 100 dozen oysters were served the day Pinckney dined at the establishment. “He had that one in a billion that was bad,” Gary Oreal said. “I feel horrible.” An attorney representing Pinckney’s family, Brandon Cathy, told the Post Thursday that he had not yet reviewed the medical examiner’s report. He denied, however, that the restaurant had passed the Florida Department of Health’s inspection of the restaurant’s kitchen “with flying colours” – as Oreal had told local reporters. The inspection had taken place a week after Pinckney had eaten there, Cathy said. “We don’t know what the conditions were that day [Pinckney ate there]but it is not a good sign,” he said. Cathy said the Food and Drug Administration tried to crack down on the summer sale of oysters from the Gulf of Mexico because they know how deadly vibrio vulnificus can be, but their efforts were thwarted by the oyster lobby. “It’s kind of historically, like one of the worst things to happen in the country,” he said. “I’m interested in selling those raw oysters in the summer at this point.” Cathy previously represented a Florida couple who were awarded $6.7 million in 2018 after a restaurant served them oysters that gave them food poisoning and led to a rare disorder for one of them that could have resulted in paralysis. The attorney said he has not yet taken any legal action in Pinckney’s case as they await the appointment of a family member as representative of his estate. The restaurant’s manager claims that nearly 100 dozen oysters were served the day Pinckney dined at the restaurant.

Rodney Jackson, director of operations at the Studer Community Institute in Pensacola, died Aug. 9 after becoming ill after eating oysters he bought at Maria’s Fresh Seafood Market, The Pensacola News Journal reported. Both cases reportedly involved oysters originating in Louisiana. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns on its website that while most cases of shivering occur in warmer weather, cases have been reported throughout the year. “An oyster that contains harmful bacteria does not look, smell, or taste any different than any other oyster,” says the CDC. The agency reported that about 80,000 people nationwide become infected with vibrio each year with 100 of them dying from the infection. Most infections lead only to diarrhea and vomiting, according to the agency.
