The flu has now claimed the lives of five people in the Toledo area. Christopher Wright, 41, is one of the latest victims of the flu. He died Sunday morning after contracting Influenza A.

"I never thought that it would happen to my family," says Wright's sister, Rachel Turner. "Especially someone who was so healthy and so young, and it just hit him so fast."

Wright was first taken to Mercy Memorial Hospital in Monroe, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia and bronchitis.

After a week of treatment, family started to worry when he wasn't getting better.

Wright is now the second flu-related death in Monroe County this season.
