MONTREAL — A New Zealander attending an international competition in the western Canadian city of Calgary has died of causes related to the swine flu, health authorities said Friday.

The unidentified man, whose son was participating in a WorldSkills Competition in Calgary, died of A(H1N1)-related causes in a local hospital on Thursday, said Andre Corriveau, Alberta's chief medical officer.

Corriveau said the official cause of death had yet to be determined, but said all appropriate precautions were being taken by the health services.

Over 1,000 competitors from some 50 countries were in Calgary for the WorldSkills Competition, at which young trainees perform the skills of their various trades in an annual competition.
