DALLAS (AP) — A third person in Texas who was infected with the new coronavirus has died, health officials said Wednesday. 

Collin County health officials said a 64-year-old man from the Dallas suburb of Plano died Tuesday night at a local hospital. Officials said the positive test was confirmed after the death of the man, who had an underlying health condition. 

Collin County health officials said that because of how the case was reported to them, they haven't yet been able to confirm the man's cause of death, and they don't know if he was in contact with the virus locally or through travel.
