ELKHART, Ind. (AP) - State health officials said a resident of northern Indiana's Elkhart County has died of complications from H1N1 flu.

The death announced Friday is the fourth in the state linked to the illness since April. The State Department of Health said it would release no other details about the latest death.

Two of the state's deaths were a 26-year-old woman and her 19-year-old brother from Dearborn County, while the other was a Lake County resident.

Health officials from around the state plan to meet Tuesday in Wabash to discuss preparations for the coming flu season, including the possibility of mass vaccinations.
