HELENA, Mont. - Lewis and Clark County health officials say the death of a Helena adult at a Great falls hospital over the weekend was not related to swine flu.

The person, who had symptoms consistent with the H1N1 virus, died Sunday. Mike Henderson, county public health nurse administrator, says the person tested negative for the virus.

An adult Lewis and Clark County resident with underlying health issues died last week after being hospitalized with complications from the swine flu. And a Roosevelt County woman, who also had underlying health issues, died in August.
