JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) ― Swine flu has been ruled out in the March death of a Teton County woman.
When 63-year-old Artemia Ramos Garcia died in March, local health officials said it could have been caused by the H1N1 swine flu. Tissue samples were sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for testing.
Teton County coroner Bob Campbell says that the tests showed Garcia died of pneumonia, not swine flu.
Wyoming state epidemiologist Dr. Tracy Murphy says there have been 10 confirmed H1N1 deaths statewide, but none in Teton County.
