Legionnaires' cluster in South Bronx kills one, sickens four; probe launched

NYC health officials are investigating a new Legionnaires' disease cluster in the South Bronx (ZIP 10451) after one death and four infections, weeks after declaring a separate Manhattan outbreak over. The source is likely a cooling tower, but the specific tower is unconfirmed. This recurrence highlights persistent infrastructure risks in the city's water systems.
