FORT COLLINS — A 52-year-old Larimer County man who contracted meningitis during a pick-up hockey game has died.
The Coloradoan newspaper reported that Bill Jubert of Bellvue died Monday after a series of strokes. Joy Jubert said her husband had recently been diagnosed with vasculitis, an inflammation of blood vessels.
Joy Jubert said there was probably a connection to the meningitis, which her husband contracted during a hockey game in June at a Fort Collins recreation center.
Jubert is the third person who played in the game to die after contracting meningitis.
Brian Wormus, 29, and Nick Smith, 28, died in June.
