Prince George, B.C. - A 39 year old Vanderhoof man, who died earlier this week from flu like complications, did not die as a result of the H1N1 flu.

A Northern Health spokesman said Saturday that tests that were conducted following the young man’s death have confirmed that it was not H1N1 that led to his death, although doctors had at first suspected that it was.

To date there have been no confirmed deaths as a result of H1N1 flu in the Northern Health Region.

There have been 14 people hospitalized with H1N1 complications in the area that Northern Health covers.

Damn, no big media story here. How about a running tally of other things that people die of?

Yes, and health Canada has banned e-cigs. I suppose they think tar and all those chemicals are better than straight nicotine. Ohh--wait. Maybe the tax money has somthing to do with this.
