Another child has died after suffering from the flu, according to Elizabeth School District officials. The child's passing could be the third flu-related pediatric death in New Jersey this season.
The student, who was not identified, was diagnosed with the flu before passing away. School officials stressed that health officials have not determined whether the virus was the primary contributing factor to the child's passing.
The matter is currently under investigation by the New Jersey Department of Health, according to Olga Hugelmeyer, Elizabeth superintendent of schools.
"It is with great sadness that I must report to you that the Elizabeth School District has lost one of its own," Hugelmeyer wrote in a letter to parents. "On behalf of the district, our team members, students and the Elizabeth Board of Education, I offer our thoughts, condolences and prayers to the family of our student at this heart-wrenching time."
School District spokesman Pat Politano later told CBS2 that the child did die because of flu-related complications. Information from the state Department of Health was not immediately available.
