A third person with swine flu has died in Canada, a spokesman for Ontario’s health minister said Monday.
An unidentified person who had been hospitalized with swine flu infection died Sunday afternoon, Steve Erwin said. The person had a number of medical conditions, he said.
It’s unclear exactly how much the infection with the H1N1 flu virus contributed to the death, Erwin said.
On April 28, a woman from the northern Alberta community of Gift Lake was the first to die from swine flu. She had chronic pre-existing health problems and had not travelled to Mexico, officials said.
