#1 In the early 1970s, British photo retoucher Robert Stevens moved to south Florida to work for the National Enquirer. He was known for his excellent work, but he also tended to get the Enquirer sued. On September 27, 1975, Stevens and his wife drove to Charlotte, North Carolina, to visit their daughter. He began having convulsions five hours later.
#2 On October 5, Stevens went into a coma, and he was diagnosed with inhalation anthrax. His doctors made a telephone call to the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and spoke with Dr. Sherif Zaki, the chief of infectious diseases pathology.
#3 The examiners were polite and helpful, but they did not make eye contact, and they were afraid. They laid Stevens's body out on a gurney, and Dr. Flannagan began the autopsy.
#4 The autopsy revealed that the spores had gotten into Stevens's lungs through the air. When they finished, the pathologists gathered up their tools and placed some of them inside the body cavity. They destroyed the prosection tools, because they were contaminated with anthrax.
