Wyoming social media reports the death of 55-year-old Hans Russell, who succumbed to botulism after being conscious but also completely paralyzed for several weeks in a Salt Lake City hospital. His death is blamed on a solo camping trip to Idaho where he consumed a can of soup that was not properly refrigerated.

Russell’s paralysis and death was said to have trapped him in his own body in that he could not move, and was called a nightmare that began with a can of soup. The outdoor enthusiast, river runner, and guide was diagnosed with Botulism, the rare bacterial infection that undermines the body’s nerves and prevents breathing and paralysis of muscles. It left Russell unable to talk or open his eyes.
