Officials at the Texas Department of State Health Services have confirmed that a 33-year old woman from Harlingen is the first Texas resident with H1N1 flu to die. Judy Dominguez Trunnell, a teacher in the Mercedes Independent School District, originally tested negative for H1N1 flu, but a follow-up test conducted by the CDC later confirmed that she indeed had contracted the H1N1 virus. Health officials have emphasized that Trunnell had “chronic underlying health conditions” that complicated the virus, leading to her death.
