A 17-year-old high school wrestler died and another teammate is battling a drug-resistant staph infection Thursday. Noah Armendariz, a student at Downey High School who contracted the infection after returning from wrestling camp in Lake Arrowhead, died Sunday from complications. "He was a very tough guy," Armendariz's older brother told CBS2. "He got big out of nowhere -- got bigger than me. He had the brains. He had the brawn." Armendariz came down with a fever two days after returning from camp last month, and later developed a rash. He was hospitalized after being home for only four days.
