Swine flu is suspected to have claimed the life of a 70-year-old tourist from Switzerland, in Rajasthan, say health authorities.

As her condition worsened, she was taken to a hospital in Jodhpur, according to reports.
"A Swiss woman was admitted to our hospital yesterday. She was suffering from pneumonia. She was kept in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and put on ventilator because her condition was very bad," said Dr. Deepak Verma.
The hospital had contacted the local police and the embassy to conduct post-mortem and handover the body.
"Despite all the treatment, she died at around 6.30 a.m. We have informed the district administration. We, with the help of local police, are trying to contact her country's embassy to seek permission for post mortem," said Verma.
At least 58 swine flu deaths have been reported in Rajasthan alone.
