SHELBYVILLE, Ky. -- Health officials are investigating whether a Kentucky restaurant named for the widow of KFC's founder is responsible for dozens of illnesses. Officials say that as of Wednesday, about 70 people have complained of getting sick after eating at Claudia Sanders Dinner House outside Shelbyville. She was married to Col. Harland Sanders. The family of a man who died Tuesday claimed he ate at the restaurant Sunday. But Regional Public Health Director Renee Blair says there's no conclusive evidence linking his death to the restaurant. Health officials have temporarily closed the restaurant. General manager Louise Riley says it is expecting a preliminary report Thursday from the health department.
