A 73-year-old Massachusetts man who contracted eastern equine encephalitis from a mosquito in either Maine or New Hampshire has died from the disease.
The state Department of Health confirmed the death on Tuesday; calling it a sad reminder of how serious EEE can be.
The unidentified victim began showing symptoms in back in September.
