PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A woman died Monday of a suspected case of swine flu, Health Director David R. Gifford said Tuesday at a news briefing. He said she had several underlying illnesses and was between 40 and 50 years old. She was admitted to an unnamed hospital over the weekend.

If swine flu is found to be the culprit, she will be the third adult to die of the virus since it arrived here last spring. A woman between 40 and 60 died July 3 and an elderly man died Aug. 4. Both had underlying health conditions and lived in Providence County.

Since Sept. 1, 53 people in Rhode Island have been hospitalized with influenza.
Nationwide, about 70 percent of people hospitalized with swine flu have had a condition that increased their risk of complications, such as pregnancy or lung disease.
