Mormann was unable to release anymore information on the death. If confirmed that the boy died from H1N1, it would be the second area child to die from the virus. October 11th, a 21-month-old Cashton child died from complications from the H1N1 virus.
In Rock County Thursday afternoon, another person was pronounced dead from H1N1 complications. With this death, in Wisconsin, since spring, 15 people have now died.
