FOLEYET, Ont. - Ontario's top medical official says the 60-year-old woman who died on a Via Rail train did not have an infectious disease.
Nor did the person who was airlifted from the scene to hospital with flu-like symptoms. Ontario's chief medical officer of health Dr. David Williams says it's anticipated that the train will continue on to Toronto later today.
Another five passengers on the train had developed flu-like symptoms, which prompted a quarantine of the train Friday morning in the northern Ontario hamlet of Foleyet.
The train was en route from Vancouver to Toronto when the woman died.
