Pathologist: W. Pa. Woman Died of Swine Flu
posted 10/01/09
8:40 am
Dr. Cyril Wecht says he was hired by the family of Deborah Spangler to confirm her cause of death. Spangler, of Renfrew, Butler County, died Sept. 10 after seeking treatment for the flu at a hospital.
Wecht and Dr. Bruce Dixon, director of the Allegheny County Health Department, announced the results of the autopsy because they say the woman's family has been shunned by those who don't understand the flu.
Wecht says that is "absolutely absurd." The woman's husband and her daughters have not developed the swine flu.
