Third Texan death from swine flu confirmed
Health officials in Texas today confirmed a 33-year-old man died last week from swine flu.
Corpus Christi-Nueces County Health District’s Dr William Burgin said the man died on May 5 or 6 after becoming sick a few days earlier. He says the man suffered from pre-existing medical conditions, including heart problems, that made it more difficult for him to survive any viral illness.
