Ballet dancer, 10, dies from brain-eating amoeba

A girl in Colombia has died after contracting a brain-eating bug from a swimming pool.

Ballet dancer Stefanía Villamizar González, 10, was on vacation with her family in June when she developed ear pain, fever, and vomiting.

Though her symptoms eased when she returned home, two weeks later, she struggled to get out of bed and began convulsing. A week later she was dead.
