dies in hospital
The 75 year old Spanish priest who was infected with
the Ebola virus in Liberia and evacuated to Spain to
get better treatment has died, a Madrid
spokeswoman from Madrid Health authorities said
this morning.
Fr. Miguel Pajares, who was airlifted from Liberia
on August 7 after contracting the disease while
working for a non-governmental organization in the
African country started using the experimental drug,
Zmapp last Saturday 9th August but sadly lost the
battle to the deadly virus. He was being treated at
Carlos III hospital Madrid where he had been
quarantined since his return from Liberia.
This will be the first European that has died from the
recent outbreak of the deadly virus.
