SINGAPORE: A 27-year-old woman has died, bringing H1N1-related deaths in Singapore to nine.

The woman had no known underlying medical conditions. She went to Changi General Hospital's Emergency Department on 23 July with a four-day history of fever, cough and lethargy.

She was admitted to the intensive care unit and intubated. But her condition deteriorated and she died on Sunday morning from a heart attack, with H1N1-infection and pneumonia as contributing factors.
