The first victim of the variant CJD strain might have died from infected baby food according to his father. Grant Goodwood, age 30, became the first person to die of the vCJD virus with his specific gene type. Other people who have suffered from the strain in the past have the same gene type, which was different than Grant’s.
His father, Thomas Goodwin, claims that Grant may have caught the disease from baby food that he received when he was a child that may have been infected. Scientist’s state that his death may prove that certain strains of the disease may be able incubate and survive for decade long periods.
Thomas stated that his son was usually very happy go lucky but once the illness overtook him he started to become paranoid and began seeing things.
Soon after Grant became ill he moved back home and was diagnosed with the vCJD strain becoming the first person with his gene type to become infected and die from the disease.
