The Associated Press LEXINGTON, Ky. — The death of a man in the bluegrass region brings to six the number of confirmed swine flu deaths in Kentucky.

A sister of 39-year-old Matt Finger of Scott County told the Lexington Herald-Leader her brother “just wasn’t that sick” in the days before he died on Oct. 3.

Beth Butrum of Georgetown said she checked on her brother that day and he was up and about. He asked her to get him some mashed potatoes and gravy from Kentucky Fried Chicken and she found him dead when she returned with the food.

Butrum said Finger has felt ill for about 10 days before his death, but seemed to be feeling better.

The newspaper reported Finger is the first confirmed swine flu victim to die at home.

Scott County Coroner John Goble said Finger didn’t have any known underlying medical conditions.
