A man who was bitten by a cat four years ago has died after a flesh-eating bacteria ravaged his body when it got into his bloodstream.
Henrik Kriegbaum Plettner adopted a cat and her tiny kittens from a shelter in 2018, but once at home he was bitten on his index finger by one of the young cats as he tried to move them.
His family has now spoken out to explain what happened in a bid to stop the same thing happening to someone else.
