LAS VEGAS (AP) - Health officials are reporting two more deaths in Nevada related to swine flu.

Southern Nevada Health District spokeswoman Jennifer Sizemore says a 73-year-old man with underlying health conditions died Monday.

A 35-year-old woman who was in the hospital for two months died on July 24. Thomas Wilson, Sabrina Gibson's father, says his daughter was diagnosed with swine flu and was cured of it, but she suffered massive internal bleeding and lung failure.

The deaths bring the number of swine flu-related deaths in Nevada to six.

Earlier in July health officials reported the deaths of a 47-year-old man with underlying medical conditions and a 51-year-old man. In June, health officials reported the death of a 33-year-old man and a 70-year-old woman who was a New York state resident.
