Sherburne County resident?s death in November was one of two deaths that occurred last fall that were attributed this week to the H1N1 novel flu, according to the Minnesota Department of Health.

The Central Minnesotan was in his or her 20s and ?that person did have underlying health conditions and was hospitalized,? MDH spokesman Doug Schultz said today.
The other death newly attributed to the illness occurred in September. That person was between 10 and 19 years old. While the death occurred in the state, the victim was not a Minnesota resident, Schultz said.
