    Bonner County man dies from flu complications

    SANDPOINT ? Health officials are warning local residents to stay vigilant during the flu season following the death of a Bonner County man.

    Over the weekend, the man, whose name was not released, passed away from complications related to his flu symptoms. The death is the first flu-related fatality to be reported this winter season in the five northern Idaho counties and is almost certainly the result of the H1N1 virus that caused the 2009 flu pandemic, Panhandle Health District public information officer Cynthia Taggart said.

    While the man, who was in his 50s, had ongoing health issues, Taggart said the death is more than enough cause to exhibit due caution as the flu season progresses.
