" A Christchurch woman is believed to be the fourth person to die of swine flu this year.
The 44-year-old, who had an underlying health condition, died last night in Christchurch Hospital's intensive care unit.
Her death has been referred to the coroner.
A 38-year-old Wellington man also succumbed to swine flu yesterday, a week after he was admitted to Wellington Hospital's intensive care unit.
He was understood to have suffered from cystic fibrosis, which affects the lungs.
The deaths follow those of a 51-year-old Northland man last month, and a 48-year-old Tauranga woman in June.
The H1N1 pandemic strain of the virus is the predominant flu strain circulating this winter."
