Teen Dies of Virus

By Associated Press

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) A 13-year-old Oklahoma City girl has died of swine flu complications after fighting the H1N1 virus for nearly a month.

Spokesman Allen Poston at The Children's Hospital at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center says Natesha Hart died Monday night.

The girl was an eighth-grader at Taft Middle School.

School and hospital officials declined to discuss the girl because of privacy concerns.
