Wisconsin reports first swine flu death

Milwaukee officials say an adult in the city is the first in Wisconsin to die from swine flu.

City Health Commissioner Bevan Baker said Thursday that the resident died from complications of the H1N1 virus, though the person also had underlying health problems that were not specified.

The federal Centers for Disease Control's latest update counted 17 H1N1 deaths in the U.S., which did not include the Wisconsin case.
