Baby death, swine flu link investigated

May

A toddler who had flu symptoms died at a Queens hospital Monday night and health officials are investigating to see if the boy was infected with the swine flu virus.
The 16-month-old died at Elmhurst Hospital Center. Hospital officials said he had a high fever when he was brought in, the Associated Press reports.
On Sunday, a public school assistant principal became the city’s first swine flu death.
Hospital and city officials say complications besides the virus probably played a part in Mitchell Wiener’s death.
