Toddler Tested Positive for Influenza A

The Athens County Coroner’s Office is conducting an autopsy on a three-year-old to see if the toddler died of complications from the H1N1 virus.

The toddler died Thursday at O’Bleness Memorial Hospital.

Coroner Harold Thompson says post-mortum test confirmed that the toddler did test positive for Influenza A, but Thompson says his office is also looking into a number of other infections the toddler had.

He says autopsy results will be ready in about six to eight weeks.
