Officials Say Death Not Related to Mad Cow

Doctors say a Kansas woman who died from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease did not get it from eating tainted beef.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob is a rare disease that afflicts about 3,600 people each year in the United States.

A 62-year-old Lucas woman died Sunday of the disease.

Doctors say the type of disease that killed her was not the kind
that results from eating beef from cattle with mad cow disease...
