ITHACA, N.Y. (AP) — A 20-year-old Cornell University student has died of complications related to H1N1 influenza, and influenza-type illness has been diagnosed in 520 other students in the past three weeks, the university reported Friday.

David Skorton, the college’s president, released a statement Friday evening saying that the 20-year-old, Warren J. Schor, died that day at Cayuga Medical Center at Ithaca. The student’s hometown was not immediately released.

In a message to students on the university’s Web site, campus health officials said that most of the students who had gone to the campus infirmary with flu symptoms had had mild illness and recovered fully. They advised students with flu symptoms to stay in their rooms and at least six feet away from others until they have been fever-free for 24 hours.

The university has nearly 20,000 students.
