A Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in Harlem has claimed a fourth life, with nearly 100 confirmed cases and more than a dozen people still hospitalized. For the first time, city officials have identified 12 cooling towers that tested positive for Legionella bacteria — including four city-owned buildings such as Harlem Hospital.

The deadly Legionnaires’ outbreak gripping Harlem has city officials in hot water — as locals accused them Friday of dropping the ball on life-saving inspections and needlessly slow-walking revealing exactly where the disease hit.

A fourth person has died in connection with a Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in New York City. Health officials disclosed the latest death Thursday as they revealed that some cooling towers tested positive for the bacteria in some city-run buildings.

Harlem faces a Legionnaires' disease outbreak alongside steep Medicaid cuts, causing concern for health support and funding among residents and local organizations.
