A local family is speaking out after they say their young son died of the highly contagious infection MRSA. Michael Literski was a 13-year student at the Ethan Allen Elementary School and a Frankford resident. His family thought he had a bad cold or the flu until he died February 16. “All of a sudden, he just said ‘it’s time’ and blood just started pouring out of his mouth and he was gone in my arms and my son was doing CPR on him,” Michael’s grandmother Mary Ann Gwalthney said.
The family told CBS3 that the medical examiner’s office did an autopsy. “They took a part of the lung and put it in the machinery and found out it was MRSA,” Mary Ann said. “He was a perfectly healthy, normal 13-year-old boy looking to graduate from school, and just wiped out of our arms.” Michael’s dad had MRSA last year.
