UNDATED (AP) - Two more deaths were under investigation Friday for possible links to tainted spinach, one in Maryland and one in Idaho. The Herald-Mail of Hagerstown, Maryland, reported an 86-year-old Hagerstown woman died last week after becoming infected with E-coli.
Her family says she had eaten fresh spinach before getting sick.
Officials also were investigating the death of a 2-year-old Idaho boy. Kyle Algood died of kidney disease associated with E-coli. He, too, had eaten packaged spinach.
Federal health officials have reported 157 cases of E-coli in 23 states and one death. No cases have been confirmed in Maryland.
