2nd Coconino County resident dies from swine flu

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - The Coconino County Health Department says another county resident has died from complications of the swine flu.

Health officials said Monday that a victim is a woman in her early 50s who resided in Flagstaff. Her name was not released.

Officials say she's the second Coconino County resident to die from swine flu complications, following the death of a teenage boy in June.

American Indian artist Michael Kabotie died last Friday at a Flagstaff hospital of swine flu and related complications at age 67.

But officials say Kabotie lived in Second Mesa, a community on the Hopi Reservation in Navajo County, and was not a Coconino County resident.
