The man who took Ebola to the USfrom West Africa 18 days(September 20th from Monrovia) died this morning in a Dallas hospital. Thomas Eric Duncan, succumbed to the virus at 7.51am. He came to America in the hopes of marrying Ms Troh after rekindling his relationship with her after more than a decade apart. He was also hoping to be reunited with the 19-year-old son, who is a college student in Texas.
Duncan exposed nearly 50 people to the disease in America, including his fiancée Louise Troh and two of her children. They remain quarantined and under constant monitoring by health officials over fears that they, too, could develop symptoms during a 21-day incubation period.
His body will be disposed of in a way that will not put anyone else at risk.
