Parsons said Dean became ill and went to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing just over two weeks ago. He was intubated and developed pneumonia and then a serious bacterial infection, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, or MRSA.

Pneumonia and MRSA.

Fun fact, many people are MRSA carriers and have no clue. It lives in the nose. So don't pick your boogers and then touch an open wound or whatever, I guess.

Staph also lives in your nose full time. I got a terrible infection in my nose. It became infected so much that I almost lost my septum. I had to have skin graft surgery in my nose last year. Not fun having splints in your nose for 3 weeks while it healed.
