Sept. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Hong Kong?s Canadian International School principal Alan Dick died from swine flu on Sept. 27, according to the city?s department of health.
Dick, 55, had been on sick leave since Sept. 19, department of health spokeswoman Natalia Leung said by phone today. Six students at the school in Hong Kong?s Aberdeen district tested positive for swine flu and have recovered, she said.
Dick had been with the Canadian International School since 1994, when it had been open for just three years, according to a statement the school posted on its Web site.
?A passionate and dynamic educator, and a proud Canadian, Alan created an incredible legacy through his contribution to the development of our school and our community,? the statement said. ?He did so not from behind closed doors, but with tremendous personal warmth and charisma.?
Health department officials visited the school again yesterday and found no evidence of flu outbreaks, the Centre for Health Protection said in a statement.
