TENNESSEE-The H1N1 flu claims the life of one Tennessee resident.

The state Health Department confirms the death, but is not giving out any details at this time.

Sources tell FOX 17 news the adult patient was first taken to Middle Tennessee Medical Center in Murfreesboro before being taken to Vanderbilt Medical Center earlier this month.

They say that patient later died at Vandy.
