H1N1 death in northern Ky. is state's 30th

BURLINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- A northern Kentucky woman in her 30s has died from complications related to swine flu.

The Northern Kentucky Health Department says the woman had underlying health conditions prior to her death.

The death reported Thursday is the 30th in Kentucky related to swine flu, or H1N1, based on data kept by the state.

An elderly Graves County woman's death earlier this month was also associated with swine flu.

Purchase District Health Department Director Charlie Ross confirmed the H1N1 connection but declined to release the woman's age or date of death.

The woman also had significant underlying health conditions.
