First Death in New York from the Mexican Flu 2009.

An assistant principal of a school in Queens, New York City died on Sunday May 17th.  Mitchell Wiener, age 55, who worked at intermediate school I.S.238 also known as the Susan B. Anthony School in Queens, died Sunday evening, The Flushing Hospital Medical Center spokesman Andrew Rubin said. Wiener, who had been hospitalized and on a ventilator, had been sick with the virus for nearly a week before his school was closed on Thursday. “Complications besides the virus likely played a part in his death”, Rubin said.

This official statement that is being released by the hospital spokesman is in direct opposition of that from Principal Wiener’s wife who was interviewed in the hospital a couple of days ago while her husband was still on a ventilator, who made it perfectly clear that the rumors about her husband as having previous medical conditions that were causing complications were “totally wrong”.  She also said “that the rumor about her husband as having diabetes was also not true”.

Three weeks ago about 700 students and 300 other people associated with a Catholic high school in Queens began falling ill following the return of several students from vacations in Mexico, the epicenter of the outbreak. The school was closed.  Five more city schools will be closed Monday because of concern for Mexican flu.
