Ebola: Woman from Guinea under Monitor Died on Tuesday in NYC to be tested for Ebola

A woman who recently arrived from Guinea died on Tuesday of heart attack in Brooklyn New York. She was reported having blood coming out from her nose as she slumped.

However, her body has been subjected for the Ebola virus test as a precaution since she was recently in West Africa, city officials said.

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene told CBS New York the woman arrived in the U.S. 18 days ago from Guinea, one of the West African countries dealing with a deadly Ebola outbreak.

The woman died Tuesday afternoon at a hair salon in the Brownsville neighborhood, the FDNY said.
 

Although she showed no signs or symptoms of Ebola prior to her death, the tests would be performed out of an abundance of caution since she was within the 21-day incubation period for the virus.
