The first person in New York state to be diagnosed with eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) in nearly a decade has died, Gov. Kathy Hochul's office announced Monday.
The case was confirmed on Sept. 20 in Ulster County -- located along the Hudson River -- by the state Department of Health. It is currently being investigated by the county Department of Health.
