    Im Alexandra Ostolaza with WKNJ News.



    Thomas Eric Duncan, the patient who was being treated for Ebola in an isolation unit at a
    Texas hospital has passed away this morning. He is the first person to die from the
    disease in the U.S.

    The Liberian citizen, who recently traveled from West Africa to Dallas to reunite with a
    long lost son and the teen's mother, had been in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian
    since Sept. 28, according to Yahoo News.

    Fox News reports state that Duncan reportedly had helped carry a 19-year-old pregnant
    woman to a taxi to go to the hospital just 5 days before he boarded a U.S. bound flight.
    The woman later died.

    According to CNN, Duncan did not start receiving treatment until several days after he
    started experiencing symptoms, which may have contributed to his rapid decline.
