source: A man with serious medical problems including diabetes has become the second person to die in NSW after contracting swine flu, health authorities say.

NSW chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant said the 57-year-old was diagnosed with the virus on Friday and died on the same day at Westmead Hospital, in Sydney’s west. He has become the 11th person in Australia infected with swine flu to have died.

“Because of underlying medical conditions, the man was at greater risk of severe illness from H1N1 Influenza 09,” Dr Chant said in a statement on Sunday.
