There are more questions than answers about Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) because doctors are still collecting data about the virus that has spread across the world from southern China in months, infecting nearly 2,900 people and killing more than 100.

That's one "Made In China" product you don't want!

HONG KONG, China -- An American teacher suffering from SARS has died in Hong Kong just hours after being transported by ambulance from Shenzhen on the Chinese mainland………

A friend of Salisbury's claimed Chinese authorities had refused to allow his ailing friend treatment in Hong Kong when the disease was first diagnosed but later moved him to avoid the death of another foreigner in the mainland.

"They didn't want another statistic," said David Westbrook, a friend of Salisbury, according to The Associated Press.

Westbrook said Salisbury appeared dead when he was wheeled into an ambulance in Shenzhen across the border from Hong Kong, where he had been hooked up to what appeared to be life support machines.

"It looked like they were just trying to keep him alive until they took him to Hong Kong," Westbrook told AP by telephone from his home in Guangdong province.
