That brings the number of New York City deaths related to swine flu to
seven.
Six of the seven deaths have occurred in people with other health
problems, presumably including at least one of the new deaths. One
case is still being investigated.
Health officials say an adult in Onondaga County is the first person
outside New York City to die of swine flu.
Onondaga County Health Commissioner Dr. Cynthia Morrow says the
resident had underlying medical conditions.
She says officials aren't identifying the patient at the family's
request and to protect their privacy. The person died recently in a
hospital and the state confirmed the death Tuesday night.
To date, Onondaga County has had 42 confirmed cases of H1N1, including
three hospitalizations. The flu has stricken students in Syracuse and
five other neighboring school districts.
State officials reported 780 confirmed cases of the H1N1 virus as of
Tuesday.
