A British man suspected of being the first UK citizen to die of Ebola did not have the deadly virus, officials have confirmed today.

Colin Jaffray, 58, from Royston, Cambridgeshire, was struck down with a fever, vomiting and internal bleeding during a business trip to Macedonia - and died in hospital on Thursday evening.

Officials in Skopje say that although the cause of death was not known, it is thought that a drinking binge may have played a part in his death.

It sounds to me like he was suffering from acute esophogeal”acid reflux”.This can be brought on by ingesting enormous quantities of alcohol over a long period of time without eating properly!I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like how they show the name of the hotel, now that they don’t think he died of Ebola.

Marburg has also popped back up in that region. As if one hemorrhagic fever wasn’t bad enough.
