A second death in Ohio has been tentatively linked to West Nile virus - this timer in Cleveland.
A 75-year-old man from Cuyahoga County who died Sunday has been listed by the Ohio Department of Health as a probable victim of the mosquito-borne virus.
The state health department also added eight other human c

All 23 cases await confirmation from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of Friday, the CDC has reported 371 human infections and 16 deaths in 21 states.
The most recent death was announced Monday by the Cleveland Health Department.
Two human infections have been reported in Greater Cinc
innati, including Ohio's first probable fatal case. Robert H. Bell Jr., a 79-year-old Goshen resident, died Aug. 12 at Bethesda North Hospital.
