NEW YORK (AP) - A woman in her 50s is New York City's second

confirmed death linked to swine flu.

A spokeswoman for the city's Department of Health and Mental

Hygiene says the woman died over the weekend and had underlying

health conditions.

Assistant public school principal Mitchell Wiener (WEE'-ner)

became the city's first death from the virus a week ago.

The city's first outbreak of swine flu occurred about a month

ago, when more than 1,000 teenagers at a Catholic high school in

Queens began falling ill following the return of several students

from vacations in Mexico, the epicenter of the outbreak.
