One person has died and 11 others sent to hospital as Alberta Health Services expands its investigation into the source of a recent outbreak of E. coli in Edmonton. The health authority said it no longer has public health concerns related to Mama Nita's Binalot restaurant, though 21 of the lab-confirmed cases were linked to the restaurant since the E. coli outbreak surfaced in late March. More cases of a serious strain of E. coli have been linked to food served at Mama Nita's Binalot restaurant, AHS says. (Google Street View) AHS said it is also investigating 13 lab-confirmed cases that have no known links to that restaurant. Children, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems are at greater risk of complications from this strain of E. coli, AHS said.
