Contra Costa Health closed a Richmond spa Friday, saying it may be linked to two deaths associated with Legionnaires’ Disease.
The closure came after the deaths were reported separately to CCH, which led it to investigate and find that both people had reportedly been at that spa in the days before the onset of their diseases. Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.

On Friday, environmental health inspectors were unable to find any records indicating the spa had ever been issued a permit for a spa or pool.
