Man’s Leg Amputated After Contracting Flesh-Eating Bacteria At State Park

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (CBS Local) — A Connecticut man who contracted flesh-eating bacteria after swimming at a state park had to have his leg amputated, according to his family.
Bruce Kagan, 68, said he went swimming at Hammonasset Beach State Park on the Long Island Sound back in late June with a cut on his right leg caused by a shopping cart at work.
“It’s all because of a little cut. It’s all it was, a little cut. Nothing more, nothing less,” Kagan told WVIT.
