Quincy Veterans Home Site For Another Legionnaires Outbreak

A Quincy veterans home where 12 people died from cases of Legionnaires' disease in recent years, has seen the issue resurface. 
 
There are pair of new cases at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy. One victim has died, but state veterans affairs officials believe that was the result of other factors. 
 
Right now the department isn't certain of the cause of the two new cases. 
 
The water at the facility is being tested and officials are keeping close tabs on residents to ensure they don't contract the disease.
