Engel would only say the child lived in North Carolina. He refused to say the child's name, age, hometown, or even what county it happened in - saying the victim's family's privacy needed to be protected.
"This is always a difficult announcement to make," Engel said. "We hope that making people aware of this tragic case will remind others to be to be vigilant about protecting themselves and their children."
Engel said the child's death was likely due to underlying medical conditions which made the effects of swine flu more severe.
