The Los Angeles County coroners office is investigating two recent deaths that officials say could be related to the recent global swine flu outbreak. However, no tests have come back positive for the swine flu, and medical examiners have not officially determined what caused the deaths.
[Updated at 9:30 a.m.: Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey said his office would collect specimens from the deceased and send them to the county public health department, which would determine whether either person died from the swine flu. If so, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would be notified, Harvey said.]
Coroners spokesman Craig Harvey said Bellflower Medical Center reported the death of a 33-year Long Beach resident Monday afternoon from symptoms resembling swine flu.
Its that diagnosis that needs to be confirmed, Harvey said. An autopsy will be performed to establish the cause of death.
The man was taken to the hospital Saturday, complaining of shortness of breath and lymphoma. Doctors later diagnosed the patient with pneumonia, Harvey said.
The second case involves a 45-year-old man from La Mirada, whose death was reported Monday to the coroners office. The man died April 22 at Coast Plaza Doctors Hospital in Norwalk.
