Re: Deaths by Influenza at Home or at Work

Robert Suder 49, died in his home on Jan. 11, one week after returning from a holiday visit to see his wife and kids in Arizona.

Suder, who was an optometrist at Visions Optical in Soldotna, returned to work for one day after the trip before calling in sick, said his mother Barbara Gunsolus.

According to an autopsy performed by the Alaska State Medical Examiners Office, released to the family, Suder tested positive for H1N1 influenza, which progressed to pneumonia. Gunsolus said Suder had complained of a sore throat and congestion and went to go see his doctor, who diagnosed him with bronchitis.

Three days later his mother found him dead at home in his bathroom.

?He was such a healthy person this all happened so fast,? she said.

Just hours after feeling flu-like symptoms, Pearland teacher suddenly dies


Although he didn't know details of her illness, Bady said Burroughs apparently began feeling ill at school on Feb. 10 and went to an urgent-care clinic in the afternoon, reporting flu-like symptoms.

During the night she began feeling worse and collapsed at home about 3 a.m. Feb. 11, Bady said. An ambulance took her to Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, he said.
