A Liberian man who was diagnosed with Ebola in Texas has died, a
hospital spokesman said Wednesday.
“It is with profound sadness and heartfelt disappointment that we
must inform you of the death of Thomas Eric Duncan this morning
at 7:51 am,” said the statement from Texas Health spokesman
Wendell Watson.
“Mr. Duncan succumbed to an insidious disease, Ebola. He fought
courageously in this battle.”
Duncan was the first patient diagnosed with Ebola outside West
Africa, where the hemorrhagic virus has killed more than 3,400
people since the beginning of the year.
He flew from Liberia to Texas to visit family, arriving in Dallas on
September 20. He began feeling sick four days later, but was not
hospitalized until September 28.
“The past week has been an enormous test of our health system,
but for one family it has been far more personal. Today they lost a
dear member of their family,” said Texas health commissioner David
Lakey.
“They have our sincere condolences, and we are keeping them in
our thoughts.”
He said that the medical team in Texas has “provided excellent and
compassionate care, but Ebola is a disease that attacks the body in
many ways.”
Health officials are monitoring dozens of people who may have
come in contact with Duncan, including about 10 who are
considered at high risk of contracting Ebola.
The virus is spread through close contact with the bodily fluids of
an infected person, or by touching the corpse of a person who has
died of Ebola, experts say.
