A Durango woman with an underlying health condition has died from Swine flu complications, bringing to at least three the number of Southwest Colorado fatalities associated with H1N1.
The woman was in her mid-20s and died at her home on West Second Avenue. The San Juan Basin Health Department department received confirmation Thursday from the state lab that the woman had H1N1. The local health department did not disclose the woman's underlying condition.
"We are deeply saddened by this death and our hearts go out to her family," said Bari Wagner, communicable disease nurse for San Juan Basin Health. "Any death related to H1N1 flu is tragic, but particularly heartbreaking is a death of young person," said Wagner.
This is the third death in Southwest Colorado associated with H1N1. The other two deaths reported last week were Montezuma County residents.
