Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, has died, Texas Health Resources said Tuesday.
Duncan may have contracted the virus in Liberia while taking a deathly ill neighbor in Liberia to the hospital in a taxi. He left Monrovia on a Sept. 19 flight and arrived in the U.S. the next day. He started showing symptoms Sept. 24 and went to a Dallas hospital for treatment Sept. 26. He was sent home, only to be brought back by ambulance on Sept. 28 and diagnosed with the deadly virus.
More than 3,000 people have died in West Africa in the worst Ebola outbreak yet.
