A Fishing Trip Turned Life-Threatening | Jackson News

A fishing trip turned deadly for Coleman when a minor foot pain spiraled into a Vibrio infection that sent him into septic shock. Doctors forced a life-or-death decision: amputate his leg or face death within a week. He agreed, and his son Jonathan, terrified of losing him, stepped up to support his father through the ordeal. Now recovering at home with a prosthetic leg on the horizon, Coleman is speaking out to warn others about the deadly bacteria that thrives in warm coastal waters — urging anyone with an open wound to stay out of the water. Health officials echo his warning, and Coleman hopes his story will save lives by pushing for clearer warning signs.
