A young woman from the Calgary-area has died from the H1N1 virus.

She is Calgary's first death linked to the H1N1 flu.

The woman was a young adult; her name and age have not been released.

She was admitted to hospital on June 29th and immediately tested for the flu. The next day, doctors confirmed she had the virus.

She was put in isolation but the virus progressed quickly and she died overnight.

The young woman had no underlying medial conditions.

Health officials say her death is not connected to the outbreak at the Children's Hospital.

The death is the third in Alberta that's been linked to H1N1 flu.

Two women with pre-existing medical conditions died from the virus. Those cases were in the Edmonton area and in northern Alberta.
