An Australian with swine flu has died, it was announced today. The 26-year-old Aboriginal man had multiple serious ailments, so authorities say they cannot be sure whether it was the virus that killed him. If it did, he could be the first person in the Asia-Pacific to die from swine flu. Australia has recorded the highest tally of swine flu cases in the region, reaching 2,330 today.
The Australian fatality was from the impoverished Aborigine minority in a remote desert community. He died in a hospital in the southern city of Adelaide. South Australia state Health Minister John Hill says the man was diagnosed with swine flu yesterday. It is not yet known what caused the patient’s death, or where he became infected with the flu.
