Apparently an elderly man got infected in the rural area where the outbreak started then returned to Conakry where he died. All four of his brothers contracted the virus at the funeral.

Now it's wait and see if they infected more people before being isolated.

I’d understood that ebola outbreaks, scary and rapidly fatal as they are, burn out pretty quickly precisely because of this rapid fatality. The man’s brothers contracted it at his funeral? How long had he been dead? Is there some sort of customary handling of or contact with the the corpse? The virus should not survive very long past death.
