MONROVIA, Liberia — A man who flew to Dallas and was later found to have the Ebola virus was identified by senior Liberian government officials on Wednesday as Thomas Eric Duncan, a resident of Monrovia in his mid-40s.

Mr. Duncan, the first person to develop symptoms outside Africa during the current epidemic, had direct contact with a woman stricken by Ebola on Sept. 15, just four days before he left Liberia for the United States, the woman’s parents and Mr. Duncan’s neighbors said.

In a pattern often seen here in Monrovia, the Liberian capital, the family of the woman, Marthalene Williams, 19, took her by taxi to a hospital with Mr. Duncan’s help on Sept. 15 after failing to get an ambulance, said her parents, Emmanuel and Amie Williams. She was convulsing but also seven months pregnant, they said.

Turned away from a hospital for lack of space in its Ebola treatment ward, the family said it took Ms. Williams back home in the evening, and that she died hours later, around 3 a.m.

Mr. Duncan, who was a family friend and also a tenant in a house owned by the Williams family, rode in the taxi in the front passenger seat while Ms. Williams, her father and her brother, Sonny Boy, shared the back seat, her parents said. Mr. Duncan then helped carry Ms. Williams, who was no longer able to walk, back to the family home that evening, neighbors said.

Did he deliberately come to the US in order to get treated for a disease he knew he had contracted?

Are there more people doing this?

Wow, that was really considerate for this puke to come here knowing all that. How could he have not known he’d been exposed?

I take it he came to Texas as his own personal hajj.

This guy knowingly put people at risk. He should be tried for murder if anyone else dies.

There is a Facebook page with older photos.

The family members and friends of the Ebola patient all appear to be God fearing Christians.

Why have they not shut down immigration/travel to and from Liberia? Why have they not secured our borders?

My Uncle always said Never trust a Liberian, no good can ever come from always being surrounded by books.
