Tells us tonight that testing has been completed. Authorities identified two new locations as confirmed sites. Both the death toll and the number of cases are on the rise. Eyewitness News Reporter a. J. Ross is live in the bronx tonight. A. J. . Reporter joe, sandra, we are live outside park avenue in the bronx. This is the last of five sites Health Officials have positively identified as a possible source of this legionnaires cluster. Deputy Health Commissioner dr. Varma expects the number of cases to rise as they try to narrow down which cooling tower is responsible for the bacteria. As Health Officials narrow down the source for the legionnaires cluster, the deaths among older residents continues to rise. A fourth death was reported saturday among what is 65 confirmed cases and counting. Health officials warn things could get worse before they get better. We think its very possible that there will be an increase in cases often the next seven days. And then we are also quite confident that after that time the number of cases will go down. We can never know for sure, you know, what the future holds and we are working very aggressively to make sure that people at risk, people at senior centers, homeless shelters, people with other medical problems get the message to Pay Attention to their health. Reporter to date city officials visited 22 buildings in the cluster area with five buildings with cooling towers bacteria. All went through thorough cleaning and remediation processes. What is most worrisome about this cluster has been the very sudden and dramatic rise in cases in a very localized area. We know that from an investigation perspective, however, that its much easier to crack a case like that because there must be something in that neighborhood that is making people sick. So, i would say that it actually hasnt been frustrating to investigate. What is frustrating is to know that people have been sick and died from an infection that is preventible. Reporter they must submit long term plans on how they will maintain the cooling towers to prevent future growth of legionella. We are doing the detective work to figure out if it was one tower responsible for all the infections or 2, 3, 4 or 5 that were responsible. That detective work will take weeks but we can be confident that the disinfection that we are doing of these five towers will reduce the number of infections in the south bronx. Reporter again, its important to note that those passed away had preexisting medical conditions. Health officials are asking anyone that has elderly friends or relatives in the area keep an eye on their health. A. J. Ross, channel 7 eyewitness news. Thank you, a. J. Right now a search is underway for the suspect who choked and robbed a man in central park. It happened in the area known as the ramble thursday night. In fact, as eyewitness News Reporter renee stoll has discovered, robberies in the park have more than doubled so far this year. She is live in central park. Renee . Reporter good evening, sandra. Just as we were getting our story ready for that violent attack, talking about how robberies are increasing in the park, police were called out to the northern end of the park. They started to convene around 109th and east drive for another alleged robbery. Police could be seen canvassing the northern end of central park after a call for an armed robber who allegedly struck during busy Daylight Hours came in. So far police have not confirmed the information and released Little Details about the incident but its not the first one this week. On thursday, around 10 00 p. M. It was somewhere in the ramble section of the park where the trees outnumber the people that police say another violent attack happened. He was begging for money. The guy said i dont have any and thats when he came up behind him and put him in a chokehold. We showed this rendering of the suspect thought to be in his mid30s to avid and first time parkgoers. Thats not good at all. I live in the neighborhood on 72nd street. I walk my dog in the park. Reporter police tell us the 53yearold victim passed out after being choked and woke up 20 to 30 minutes later robbed of everything. When we check the number of robberies in the park, we found last year there was only 10 from january 1 to july 26th. This year in the there is now 19. That is frightening that its happening at 10 00 a. M. , 11 00 a. M. , 3 00 p. M. Its not 1 00 in the morning. Reporter a source with nypd says patrols have increased and this command center has been a staple in the northern end of the park for days on end. But some parkgoers say they are hardpressed to find a cop themselves. I ran 5 1 2 miles, not one police officer, not one. I have never seen it like this. Not one on a scooter, not one in a car, not one in a van. You would think they would be more prevalent, more visible. See something, Say Something. But he wonders who he will Say Something to. But, again, it depends on where you are in the park because, again, here we are at the northern end of the park near 110th and there is plenty of Police Presence inside the park because they are trying to investigate an alleged armed robbery. Again, Little Details have been released on that. As soon as we get more information, we will certainly pass it along and you can always check abc7ny. Reporting live, im renee thank you, renee.
