| Mr. Duncan died at 7:51 a.m. at Texas Health
Presbyterian Hospital, more than a week after the virus was detected in him on
Sept. 30. His condition had worsened in recent days to critical from serious as
medical personnel worked to support his fluid and electrolyte levels, crucial to
recovery in a disease that causes bleeding, vomiting and diarrhea. Mr. Duncan
was also treated with an experimental antiviral drug, brincidofovir, after the
Food and Drug Administration approved its use on an emergency basis. |
