SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) -- A 22-year-old in Sarasota is Florida's 13th fatal case of the swine flu. Health officials wouldn't say how or when the man died, but Dr. William Heymann, Medical Executive Director of the Sarasota County Health Department, called it a "tragic and sobering reminder that influenza is serious." Statewide, more than 2,100 have been sickened since the outbreak emerged.
