A cause is not expected for some time from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta in the death of Warren Central High School freshman Wesley Husband, Warren County Coroner Doug Huskey said.

“It could be weeks, it could be months,” Huskey said.

Test samples for H1N1 swine flu were sent to the CDC from the Mississippi Department of Health late last week after the state said the virus was not the cause. Husband, 15, died Thursday at The Street Clinic after he was taken there by a family member. Husband had complained of chest pain and had been treated for sinus drainage during an emergency room visit two days earlier.

Huskey said a wait for lab tests to return from state and federal health officials is not uncommon.

“I’m still waiting for a pathology report from a natural death months ago,” Huskey said.

Immediate tests following Husband’s death ruled out bacterial meningitis, which had killed a 6-year-old Dana Road Elementary first-grader five days earlier.

State health officials have confirmed five swine flu cases in Warren County since June, when World Health Organization declared a worldwide pandemic because of the spread of the strain.
