Relatives say a 38-year-old man has died of bird flu, raising the unofficial toll in the world's hardest hit nation to 111.
The government recently started delaying announcements about bird flu fatalities, sometimes by several weeks. But health workers speaking on condition of anonymity confirmed the tests came back positive.
Abdul Kadir said Thursday his brother-in-law, Asnawi Sandri, died on July 10. He had symptoms of the disease, including high fever and coughing, when he was hospitalized.
Kadir says doctors told the family the father of two died of bird flu. (****)
