A Michigan man died after contracting a dangerous bacterial infection while helping a friend clean up after Hurricane Ian in Florida. His fiancée said he spent tireless efforts in helping others and had a vibrancy for life. On October 8, Jim Hewitt was helping his friend and others clean up from Ian when he fell into a canal and injured his leg. He was said not to have thought much of it, just cleaned the wound and continued to help. That next day, he woke up in extreme pain and went to the hospital. "Upon arriving at the hospital emergency department, they determined he had an infection in his blood known as vibrio vulnificus, that is caused by a saltwater bacteria," his daughter Kendall Smoes said. "Vibrio is a bacteria that has a very high mortality rate, especially in those that have weakened immune systems, like my Dad."
