The Nunavut government is reporting that a patient who tested positive for the H1N1 swine flu virus has died.
The health department says the patient was a resident of both Nunavut and Alberta.
The patient died in an Alberta hospital.
Officials say it's not clear what role the virus played in the death since the individual had chronic, pre-existing medical conditions.
Since the death happened in Alberta and the deceased was recognized as an Alberta resident, it's been reported as an Alberta death associated with H1N1.
Meanwhile, Nunavut is reporting 32 more cases of H1N1, bringing the total number of lab-confirmed cases in the territory to 372.
Sixty percent of reported cases are from the Kivalliq region, 37 percent are from the Kitikmeot region and three percent are from the Baffin region. Most patients have already recovered from the illness.
