Always tragic: Iowa student dies from complications of E. coli

Southeast Polk Community School District officials say a student has died as a result of complications of E. coli.

No mention in early media reports is made of what kind of E coli was involved.

Willowbrook Elementary officials confirm Natalie Baker, a second grade student, died unexpectedly on Friday. Natalie’s mother said the death was very sudden, and urges parents to be on the lookout for signs of illness in their children, especially if they complain of a stomachache.
