Family: Man dies after contracting botulism from gas station nacho cheese

WALNUT GROVE, Calif. -- The family of a man battling a severe case of botulism after eating food at a California gas station says he has passed away.

Martin Galindo was one of five confirmed cases of the rare disease recently, all of which officials say appear to have come from nacho cheese sauce from the Valley Oak Food and Fuel gas station near Sacremento.
