Federal officials reported the first death linked to Zika virus disease in the United States occurred in Puerto Rico sometime in the last five months. In a new report released on Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that one person with Zika died between at some point between November 1, 2015 and April 14, 2016 in Puerto Rico after developing severe internal bleeding due to lack of platelets in the blood.
