Late last month, a Broward County man suffered a painful death days after eating raw oysters at a popular Dania Beach seafood restaurant. The Broward County Medical Examiner’s and Trauma’s Office report did not conclude on the cause of death, but said in a July 31 report that Roger Pinckney, 44, was infected with vibrio vulnificus, a bacteria that lives in coastal waters and usually makes people sick through eating raw shellfish or by entering an open wound, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to the medical examiner’s report, the Davie man was in a lot of pain when he was taken to Pembroke Memorial Hospital on July 23. His family said he had just eaten raw oysters during a birthday party at the Rustic Inn, a well. well-known South Florida restaurant operating on a canal near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport since 1959. The restaurant could not immediately be reached for comment Friday, but its manager, Gary Oreal, told the South Florida Sun Sentinel this week that no one has gotten this sick in the restaurant’s history, during which had served “a few billion oysters”. Oreal also said Florida Department of Health inspectors checked the Rustic Inn’s oyster inventory the day after Pinckney got sick and the restaurant “passed incredibly well and we were allowed to continue selling oysters.” Pinckney’s family hired lawyers after his death. One of his attorneys, Scott Schlesinger, declined to comment on the matter. “It’s brand new and we’re looking into it,” Schlesinger told the Miami Herald Friday. Pinckney’s condition continued to deteriorate and he was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood the next day for emergency surgery to relieve the swelling. He was experiencing necrotizing fasciitis, or flesh-eating disease, due to the bacteria, according to the ME report. While awake, Pinckney was in “severe pain” and had a rash on both legs, the report states. The doctors intubated him and he remained in this condition for the rest of his life. Two days later, his septicemia, or his body’s response to infection, became so severe that doctors amputated one of his legs above the knee, according to the report. Pinckney then developed multiple organ failure and had to undergo continuous dialysis. The next day, July 31, Pinckney began showing signs of gastrointestinal bleeding, and his family signed a “do not resuscitate” form. Care was withdrawn at 1:45 p.m. and eight minutes later, a nurse pronounced him dead, the report states.
What is vibrio vulnificus and who is most at risk?
According to the CDC, the vibrio bacteria causes about 80,000 illnesses and kills about 100 people a year. Most infections occur through eating raw seafood or through a wound exposed to salt or brackish water (a mixture of salt and fresh water). Although anyone can be exposed to vibrio bacteria, most people can survive it with few complications and recover within a few days. Those with weakened immune systems or liver problems, however, are at particular risk of becoming seriously ill or dying from shock, the CDC says. About one in five people infected with the type of vibrio bacteria Pinckney caught — vibrio vulnificus — die, sometimes within a day or two of infection, according to the CDC. Pinckney had multiple drugs in his system when he was hospitalized, including cocaine, fentanyl, opiates, oxycodone and cannabis, according to the medical examiner’s report, which did not say whether those substances contributed to his worsening condition or if he had other underlying conditions. Most cases of vibrio infection occur between May and October, when the water is warmest.
