Today's update from the CDC includes a second death in AZ. I am not aware of any news articles about this.

At the end of yesterdays media briefing it was announced that there were no plans for a briefing today. Now, there is a briefing at 2PM. You can listen in here:

In reviewing AZ Department of Health H1N1 reports they do not list or discuss deaths.

The CDC does not include the confirmed death in New York. I wonder if they listed it in the wrong place.

PHOENIX -- The Arizona Department of Health Services confirmed Tuesday afternoon that another person in the state has died of the H1N1 flu.

The person died on the Gila River Indian Reservation, the heath department said. Calls to the reservation were not immediately returned

The first H1N1 flu death occurred in Maricopa County. The female victim, who was in her 40s, was also suffering from a lung condition, authorities said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention listed two fatalities for Arizona on its Web site, but it was unclear when the second death occurred. In total, 488 confirmed and probable cases of H1N1 flu in the state.

"Unfortunately, we knew this was coming," said Dr. Bob England, director of Maricopa Department of Public Health, after the first death was announced. "Flu is serious, especially for those with underlying health conditions."
