A third Mainer, again from Penobscot county, has died recently from swine flu, the Maine Center for Disease Control reported today.
The person, like the two before him or her, had an underlying medical condition that contributed to his or her death, according to Lucky Hollander, director of legislative relations at the Maine CDC. The person was between 50 to 65 years older or older. The person’s gender, name, exact age, date and time of death and residence are not being released.
A man from Penobscot county became Maine’s second swine flu victim last week. A 50-year-old York county man who died in August was Maine’s first.
Hollander said the Maine CDC will release further information on Thursday afternoon.
