You're welcome, Amel. Perhaps, in the other context you're mentioning, people meant to say that the person was unfortunate/jinxed/had a bad luck to become ill. It's possible, even probable.

Note from asker:
Thanks. I knew this was the meaning but I have also heard people use the word to mean someone became ill. |

unfortunate/unlucky
Just trying to give more options:
unfortunate
unlucky
unfortunate
unlucky
Note from asker:
