By Robert McGreevy, Fox News

An outbreak of Legionnaires' disease in New York City killed a fourth person as 76 cases have now been reported in the city, city health authorities announced Monday.

The outbreak, which city authorities have linked to a series of cooling towers in Upper East Side buildings, has hospitalized 60 people, 53 of whom were discharged while seven remained in the hospital, according to authorities.

The fourth death announced Monday follows a first death from the disease on Friday. City officials announced two additional deaths over the weekend.

After testing 180 different cooling towers, the city found live or dead Legionella bacteria in 31 buildings.
