An unidentified Washington state man was in his 30’s and lived in Snohomish County, north of Seattle was one of the victims. The Washington Sate Department of Health said on its Web site that he had “underlying heart conditions and died last week with what appears to be complications” of swine flu.
In Costa Rica, a 53-year old man died after contracting the virus, that country’s Health Ministry said, adding that he also suffered from diabetes and chronic lung disease.
In both cases it appears as though there were other chronic conditions that might have been contributing factors.
