Ind. Nurse Dies After Flu Hospitalization

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) -- An Evansville hospital is awaiting tests to confirm whether a nurse who died was ill with swine flu.

Fifty-three-year-old Danna Fortune of Boonville died Friday at St. Mary's Medical Center, more than a week after being admitted with flu-like symptoms.

Hospital spokesman Rick Peltier tells the Evansville Courier & Press there are no indications Fortune had been in contact with any patients hospitalized with swine flu. She was a nurse in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit.

Meanwhile, health officials in southern Indiana's Greene and Jackson counties also reported their first deaths related to swine flu. The Jackson County victim was a 52-year-old woman, while no details about the other person were released.
