Adjust font size:

A 44-year-old man has died of A/H1N1flu in Toronto, the second such case in Canada, health officials said on Monday.

The man died on Saturday and lab testing the next day confirmed he had been infected with the new A/H1N1 flu virus, according to a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) report on Monday.

The man had other chronic medical problems and it is not clear what role the new flu played in the man's death, Ontario's acting chief medical officer of health, Dr. David Williams, said in a statement.

Williams said there have been 58 new confirmed cases of A/H1N1 flu in Ontario since last Friday, bringing the total number in the province to 352, the most in the country.

Canada had the first A/H1N1 flu death when a 39-year-old woman in Alberta died of the flu earlier this month.

As of last Friday, 805 confirmed cases of A/H1N1 flu had been reported in Canada.
