(Waco, TX) — A 29-year-old New Jersey man is dead after contracting a brain-eating amoeba from a wave pool at a resort in Waco.
Fabrizio Stabile died of the rare illness at the Atlantic City Medical Center. BSR Cable Park’s Surf Resort in Waco has shut down as a precaution while CDC officials test the water. Swimmers can contract the deadly infection if contaminated water gets into their mouths or noses.
