DALTON - A second-grader from Dalton has died from swine flu.

Jennifer Moorer, spokeswoman for the North Georgia Health District, said the 7-year-old girl died Wednesday after a brief hospitalization. Moorer says the girl had no known underlying health conditions.

School officials identified the child as Candy Chen. Dalton City Schools spokeswoman Deana Farmer said counselors have been sent to City Park Elementary where the girl attended.

At least 14 Georgia residents have died from swine flu since April.
