Mexico confirms 6 more swine flu deaths, raising toll to 95
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico is reporting six more deaths from swine flu, bringing the country's toll to 95.
The Health Department says that 4,974 people have been sickened nationwide. That number includes the 95 deaths.
Health officials say 34 percent of those who died were obese and diabetic.
Mexico says its epidemic has largely subsided, but the confirmed toll has been rising as scientists test a backlog of samples from patients.
