FLAGSTAFF, AZ -- A Northern Arizona University student who was hospitalized with a rare type of meningitis has died.
Lianne Dennstedt, 19, was beginning her sophomore year when she became ill with a severe sore throat.
A week later, she was admitted to the hospital with meningitis, double pneumonia and renal failure caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum.
"Fusobacterium. So the meningitis didn't come from an outside source. It was basically produced from her own body," explained her father, Shawn Dennstedt.
The once-healthy, fun-loving girl was soon in a coma at Flagstaff Medical Center.
She died Monday night...
