H1N1 claims 2nd life in 15 days in Mumbai

MUMBAI: A 56-year-old Ambivli man died of H1N1 on Thursday , making it the second death due to the virus in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region in a fortnight . The death of Satish Sutar, who is suspected to have been infected during a recent visit to Pune, has increased the state's toll to 29 in three months, the highest in the country so far.

Sutar had been down with cold since July 1 but ignored it. Only when his condition worsened did he approach doctors. In fact, he was not diagnosed or treated for swine flu till a day before his death.
