Woman dies of meningitis just days after SoulCycle fanatic was killed by disease

A woman has died of meningococcal meningitis just three days after a man's death was reportedly caused by the same bacterial disease 18 miles away in Northern California.

Laura Robson, 53, was found sitting upright, dead, on the back of a San Francisco Muni bus. Preliminary autopsy results suggest her death was due to meningococcal meningitis.

Her brother, David Robson, said that Laura recently had shoulder surgery at Marin General Hospital. The facility is just two miles from the SoulCycle studio where more than 200 people were told to seek medical attention last week after Sevin Philips died of the same disease shortly after exercising there.
