'Kind' schoolboy dies from flesh-eating bacteria after 'twisting ankle on treadmill'

The Mirror reports that Jesse Brown, 11, from Florida, US, was an active youngster but his health quickly went downhill after he suffered an ankle injury whilst on a treadmill only a few weeks ago.

His cousin, Megan Brown, said that several days after the injury his mum was shocked to see his leg had gone “splotchy, purple, red” and bruised up.
