SALT LAKE CITY — A third Salt Lake Valley resident has died from complications of the swine flu.
Craig Whitehead says his sister, Franice Rushton, 47, got sick after his mom was diagnosed with type-A flu.
Rushton initially tested negative for the flu, but continued to feel worse.
They took her to the doctor and Jordan Valley Hospital, where they found she was suffering from pneumonia and her kidneys were beginning to fail.
Whitehead says she eventually ended up at Intermountain Medical Center, where she got a positive test for the swine flu. He says by that time the flu had gone untreated for too long, and she died Saturday.
Whitehead says he wanted to get the word out so that people would not become complacent.
The Salt Lake Valley Health Department confirmed the death.
Flu Victim Family’s Statement

Our family would like to express thanks to the Shock and Trauma unit at IMCH. And to those who have prayed and supported our family over the past 2 weeks.
Francine and her mother became ill with the flu two weeks ago today. Her mother tested positive and was treated for the flu and has since recovered. Francine tested negative and was sent home. Her health continued to decline, and three days later she was taken to Jordan Valley Hospital. For the second time she tested negative, was sent home, and told to increase fluids and rest.
We begged the doctors to treat her with Tama flu because it had helped her mother, but they refused because her test had come back negative. After another three days she became incapacitated, and was again taken to Jordan Valley where she was admitted and found to have pneumonia, plus all of the symptoms associated with the flu, but once again tested negative. At this point she had had the flu for approximately eight days, untreated. Her condition continued to decline, and on Tuesday was transferred to IMC Hospital. By this time her body was so ravaged from the virus that her kidneys and lungs started to fail and brain activity had diminished. On Wednesday, June 10 we received a positive Type-A flu test, and on Thursday we received, from the CDC, a positive test for H1N1, Swine Flu.
After fighting a valiant battle she succumbed to this illness. It has been reported that she had underlying illnesses that contributed to her death, but according to her doctors she died from lung damage, kidney failure, and brain damage which were all strong and healthy prior to contracting the virus.

Oregon’s second swine flu death confirmed: a young Marion County child
by Don Colburn, The Oregonian

Oregon health authorities have confirmed the state’s second known death — in a young Marion County child — from the new H1N1 influenza virus, also known as swine flu.
The child, identified only as “younger than 5 years old,” died June 15, and infection with the swine flu virus was confirmed by the Oregon State Public Health Laboratory Tuesday. The child had “no known underlying medical conditions and a two-day history of fever,” and was not hospitalized, officials said.
There have been some deaths in CNY from swine flu. I saw the article just recently but can’t find it now.
Considering the number of people who are supposed to have been in fine shape just dying so suddenly, dropping like flies, isn’t such a bad analogy.

David Prescott Twomey III, who graduated from Emerson in 2006 with an M.A. in political and organizational communication, died Tuesday of complications that resulted from H1N1, strep, and a staph infection, his family said.
Associate Professor of Communication Studies Dr. Gregory Payne, Twomey’s former teacher and family friend, said the family informed him yesterday that Twomey was hospitalized Friday in Washington D.C., but his condition soon deteriorated.
After his Emerson graduation, Twomey was hired by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and most recently he was working on new media projects at the U.S. Federal Courts.
