Swine flu victim had no underlying health condition, hospital says

Swine flu victim had no underlying
health condition, hospital says


The Freeman, quoting the Web site of WCBS-TV, Channel 2, reported Sunday that Cayuga Medical Center in Ithaca had confirmed that 20-year-old Warren J. Schor of Clinton Corners had a separate medical problem in addition to swine flu.

"That's not true," said John Turner, vice president for public relations at the hospital. "He died from complications from H1N1."

Schor had been hospitalized since Sept. 3 after being admitted with flu symptoms, but the presence of the H1N1, or swine flu, virus was not finally confirmed until Thursday, Turner said. Schor died the next day.
