MALIBU (CBS) — The 32-year-old restaurant dishwasher who was found in a pool of his own blood outside Guido’s in Malibu apparently died from an upper respiratory disease, authorities said.

Carlos Ivan Rodas was found dead Sunday night just steps from the door of Guido’s in the Malibu County Mart shopping center at Pacific Coast Highway and Cross Creek Road, according to sheriff’s deputies and a coroner’s spokesman.

Rodas’ death was first reported as a stabbing, then as a brutal beating. Officials later said they believed Rodas died of natural causes, despite the large amount of blood found at the scene.

An official cause of death from the coroner’s office was unavailable. Sheriff’s detectives issued a statement Wednesday, saying they did not believe any foul play was involved and that Rodas died from a respiratory disease.

Yikes! Thanks for posting. I hope whatever he died from is not contagious. Condolences to his family and friends.

I pine for the good old days in California when the worst thing that could happen to your immune system was a runny nose.

The way things are going we'll be ground zero when the Plague makes its big comeback.

Ping. The dishwasher was found in a pool of blood outside the restaurant. Initially they thought he had been murdered.

“Authorities said the man was covered, from head to toe, in blood.”

Why did CBS report this as a fatal shooting?

Probably because they believed the initial on scene LEO reports and needed a good headline story.

Actually, it would benefit us all if it was contagious. Have you ever met a conservative in Malibu?

Oh, of course I want to be on this list, nully!

Interesting variation in the reported cause of death. Did they consider looking for bullet or knife wounds before they reported he’d been shot and/or stabbed?

And you gotta love that “respiratory disease” ...

———upper respiratory disease, authorities said.———

That’s a pretty short list of diseases that can leave a pool of blood covering your entire body

Think I will invest in some surgical mask stock ....

Based on our most recent cultural norms, I assumed “Malibu Dishwasher” was the victims real name.
