If confirmed, this would be the first dead in Thailand from swine flu.

The German woman, Mrs Barbel Wilhelmine, came to Thailand with her husband and child to stay in a resort in Prachuab Khiri Khan, not far from Hua Hin

After one week, she had chest pain and difficulty breathing and went to a Hua Hin hospital. But she was in a critical condition and they sent her to Samitivej hospital in Bangkok.

She never made it, she died on the way to Bangkok.

We are now waiting for the results of the analyses that would confirm, or not, that she indeed died of swine flu.

That could reinforce the warning by the WHO that a combination of the bird flu and the swine flu could be very dangerous. And Thailand is the perfect place for this combination to happen, the bird flu having been here for quite a few years now.
