Dead Via Rail passenger identified

Via The Globe and Mail, a Canadian Press report: Dead Via Rail passenger identified. Excerpt:

Ontario police say the woman who died aboard a Via Rail Train on Friday, setting off a massive biohazard response, was a 43-year-old from South Africa.

While a post-mortem examination determined Brenda Buckley's death was the result of natural causes as earlier reports have suggested, there's been much speculation as to her age and country of origin.

Authorities had initially given the woman's age as 60, and later said she was 86 years old.

Police say six other passengers who reported feeling ill around the same time have since been diagnosed with the common flu.
