RIFLE, Colo. -- The death of a healthy Rifle teen is serving as a warning to those on the Western Slope. Yesterday we told you 17-year-old Austin Booth died from influenza. His death shows the common virus should not be taken lightly.
Medically his death is considered unusual because we're told by friends of Booth, he was an active, healthy kid and an athletic inspiration.
Health officials say the Rifle High School Junior had no pre-existing health conditions. His death is raising questions of how such a healthy teen at the top of his game could die from a common virus.
"Every year the flu comes around and it's a little bit different," says Doctor Michael Whistler.
