DALLAS — The first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the United States died early Wednesday, officials with Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital announced.
“It is with profound sadness and heartfelt disappointment that we must inform you of the death of Thomas Eric Duncan this morning at 7:51 am.,” the hospital said in a written statement. “Mr. Duncan succumbed to an insidious disease, Ebola.”

The Liberian citizen, who recently traveled from West Africa to Dallas to reunite with a longlost son and girlfriend, had been in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian since Sept. 28.

It wasn’t immediately known what would happen to his body, which could remain contagious for several days. Guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention call for the remains to be immediately shrouded in plastic and double-bagged in leak-proof bags at the hospital, then promptly cremated or buried in an airtight casket.

Duncan’s death comes four days after his condition was downgraded from serious to critical. Over the weekend, he had begun receiving brincidofovir, an experimental antiviral drug which recently gained emergency approval from the FDA.

“He fought courageously in this battle,” the hospital said. “Our professionals, the doctors and nurses in the unit, as well as the entire Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas community, are also grieving his passing. We have offered the family our support and condolences at this difficult time.”

  1. That we do know as believers, but there are many who aren’t believers and they aren’t familiar with The Book of Daniel, Matthew Ch 24, or The Book of Revelation. It’s our job as believers to spread the word of GOD as much as possible even though we can’t stop “Them” (Genesis 11:6) Only GOD can. We as believers have to play our part in The Body of Christ.

  2. There has been tons of speculation surrounding this. They didn’t have the cure/treatment for him, but others of different “color” have been treated and cured completely. There’s speculation that the treatment isn’t compatible with people of color. Not sure if it’s true or not, but there are things you can purchase from the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC to enhance your immune system to protect itself from Ebola.
