Xinhua: "SANTO DOMINGO, Jan. 23 (Xinhua) -- Dominican authorities on Sunday reported the first death from cholera, raising fear that an outbreak could spread across the border from neighboring Haiti.
Dominica's health ministry said the victim was a Haitian citizen who lived in Huguey, a city located east of Santo Domingo, Dominica's capital.
'While the samples are still being analyzed in the lab, the result of the autopsy found a lot of white liquid fecal materials in the intestine of the victim, compatible with the disease,' the ministry said in a statement."
