13-year-old with no underlying conditions dies from flu in Safed

Ziv Medical Center says that a 13-year-old boy suffering from the flu has died shortly after arriving to the Safed hospital in critical condition.

The teen, who had no underlying conditions and had previously only had mild flu-like symptoms, was rushed to the hospital yesterday after his condition deteriorated significantly. Despite intubation and CPR attempts, he died shortly after arrival.

The Walla news site reports that health authorities are still working to determine the cause of death, but believe it to have been a complication of the flu.
