New Zealand : H1N1 victim battled grief

Via Sun Live, a follow up to yesterday's report :


"The 48 year old Tauranga woman, who died of H1N1 (swine flu), was struggling with the loss of her husband Greg, who died of cancer in August last year.


Bay of Plenty District Health Board medical officer of health Dr Phil Shoemack confirmed on Monday that Lee Roche died in Tauranga Hospital on June 26 from H1N1.

Family members told SunLive that one of Lee's daughters also contracted H1N1 but did not die from the virus.


It is believed Lee contracted the virus from her daughter but family members refused to comment on that.

Surviving Lee are daughters, Kate and Jode Roche, who family members say are still struggling with the death of their father. "
