As Toledo-Lucas County Health Department officials warn that more people have likely died from the flu over this last weekend, more information has become available about one of the victims who died from the H1N1 strain of the virus just before the new year.


The victim, James A. Crosby, 50, of Temperance, died Dec. 28 in Toledo Hospital. Mr. Crosby was a truck driver who recently became employed by Spader Freight Service in Clyde. He did not get a flu shot because he was very healthy and didn?t feel he needed one, said his mother, Linda Crosby.
