Superbug sufferer died of natural causes?

Link: Operation at....

    A Woman who contracted the "superbug" MRSA while in hospital died of natural causes, an inquest heard yesterday. Teresa Box fell ill eight days after a knee replacement operation at Derbyshire Royal Infirmary on May 16, suffering diarrhoea and bleeding. She underwent several blood transfusions and, following an emergency operation, was found to have a duodenal ulcer and spent several weeks in intensive care. Her condition improved but she began bleeding again and tests revealed that she had MRSA and the Clostridium Difficile bug, a virulent strain of a common bacterial infection.
