HAINES -- A 19-year-old woman from Haines who was living in Juneau had swine flu when she died Nov. 21, the state Department of Health and Social Services reported Thursday.
She had not been hospitalized.
The cause of death has not yet been determined, said department spokesman Greg Wilkinson. There is no evidence that she had any chronic health conditions, he said.
The young woman becomes the 12th reported death in Alaska associated with swine flu this year. Most of those who died did have other chronic health problems that contributed to their risk of dying with the flu.
