Health Officials are confirming the first death in Erie County related to swine flu. The Erie County Health Department is not releasing any more information on this particular death at this point.

But two Buffalo public school students were hospitalized this week at Women and Children's Hospital due to the swine flu. Tonight the school district posted this statement on their website offering condolences: "We ask the Buffalo community to remember the student, family, friends, and loved ones in their thoughts and prayers. We have assigned grief counselors to Harvey Austin Public School #97 on Monday morning to provide the necessary support for students and staff."

The other Buffalo student that was hospitalized because of swine flu is from Charles Drew Science Magnet School #59. There is no word on that student's condition.

Niagara County health officials have also identified new clusters of H1N1 in school-aged children.
