Meningitis victim's husband says outbreak a 'wake-up call'

Widower questions inspections at Mass. steroid supplier

Howell — A Metro Detroit congressman and a Livingston County man whose wife died of fungal meningitis questioned Tuesday whether adequate inspections were done at a Massachusetts steroid supplier linked to an outbreak in 10 states.

Their concerns come as state health officials report a third death in Michigan — a 78-year-old woman from Washtenaw County.

Meanwhile, George Cary told reporters outside his Howell home, discussing the Sept. 30 death of his wife, Lilian: "Our loss and that of others should be a wake-up call to our country."

He added later: "The apparent lack of suitable inspections should not have happened."
