deangelo was a police officer for two different departments in california in the 1970s, before he was fired in 1979 for shoplifting. police say he does have adult children. he reportedly retired just last year from his job at a an iny in central alabama this morning after a worker fell to his death while inspecting a ride at a fair. the 45-year-old man was conducting a safety check of the ring of fire ride in alexander city. officials say he was about a quarter of the way up when he fell. the victim has not yet been identified. the ride was not operating at the time of the incident. the fair is expected though to open again today. u.s. health officials are warning that the e. coli outbreak linked to contaminated romaine lettuce is getting bigger and more severe. the lettuce has sickened at least 84 people in 19 states. hardest hit are pennsylvania and california. 42 people have been

really the age when a woman's fertility traditionally declines, i started asking my co-workers and friends, talking about this concept of egg freezing. it was described as an insurance policy for millennial women who wanted kids in the future but not right this second. so i decided to check out the first step firsthand to determine how and if i could do it, too. in this business -- i'm morgan radford in new york -- the one thing we need other than more coffee is more time. i had a gynecologist look at me and say, you should freeze your eggs. i said, why? you can wait and not feel pressured by any biological clock. a clock that seemed to keep ticking louder. all my friends were turning 30 this year. you know, we're all, like, how do we do this? how do we make sure we have all of our options available in we're this generation of women who are facing things that we've never seen before, right? the truth is, like, i'm super

>> doing well. >> you saw something in the ultrasound. there were fewer egg follicles than you might expect for someone of her age. what more did you learn? can you share results with morgan? >> overall, you'd be a good candidate for egg freezing. from the blood test, we did see that the number of eggs, which correlates to the blood test, it might be a little less than other women your age. overall, we still think you'd have great chances in doing egg freezing. the important thing to know is it won't affect your ability to get pregnant naturally. egg freezing is just a way to have an insurance policy, maybe for a second or third child. >> for someone like me, this would be a good move now. >> i'd recommend considering it potentially now or in a little bit. >> morgan, it was cute to see you sitting on your mom's lap when she said it was an insurance policy. knowing -- because we know that you're a busy worker here, but we also know that nothing is guaranteed. >> absolutely. >> some people might say, i froze my eggs so i can do whatever i want and come back when i'm ready, but we're not 100% sure that always works,

right? >> exactly. great point to make. while we freeze the eggs, we can never ensure it'll lead to a pregnancy in the future. but freezing them earlier will definitely be helpful. >> the insurance policy analogy isn't perfect, because it isn't guaranteed, but would she be better off freezing them now, a younger women, when the eggs are younger? if you're in your 20s, do it now? the younger the eggs are, the better they are? >> definitely, the younger you do it, the more you'll get and the better quality, but we don't want women doing it too young and having a low chance of using it. we recommend the testing and, based on the testing, making a decision. >> morgan, how are we feeling, honey? >> i feel good. you mentioned my mom. i called her five minutes ago and said, what if she says they're low. she said, morgan, this story will have been a blessing in disguise. >> yes. >> there are thousands of women just like me, 29/30, who simply just don't know their status. so at least, what dr. beckt told
