Dobie High School student becomes Houston's 5th swine flu death

HOUSTON -- A junior at Dobie High School died this week from swine flu, according to Houston's Health Department.

The unidentified teen had an undisclosed, underlying medical condition, and hadn't been in school since late September.

Pasadena ISD parents were notified of the death Friday in a letter.

That brings the number of swine flu deaths in Houston to five, including two people who died last March.
