HANOI, Vietnam — A health official says a 32-year-old man from northern Vietnam has died of bird flu, the country's second death from the disease this year.
The man was from the province of Ninh Binh and died Wednesday at a clinic in Hanoi.
Vu Van Can, deputy director of the Ninh Binh health department, says the man tested positive for bird flu and he became ill after slaughtering and eating ducks his family raised.
Last week, a 23-year-old woman from the northern province Quang Ninh died of bird flu, becoming the first person in Vietnam to die of the disease in 2009.
