    Second medical doctor dies from swine flu-related complications ... overall death toll now at six

    A second medical doctor has died from H1N1 (Swine Flu) related complications.
    She is the sixth person to have died since the virus was first reported here in January.
    The doctor, who was just over 60 years old, had been admitted to the University Hospital of the West Indies.
    The acting chief medical officer, Dr Winston De La Haye, says she was in the high-risk group as she had other complications.
    Health authorities have confirmed 69 swine flu cases from 187 tests since the start of the year.
