The
75 year old Spanish priest who was infected with the Ebola virus in Liberia and
evacuated to Spain to get better treatment has died, a Madrid spokeswoman from
Madrid Health authorities said this morning.
Fr. Miguel Pajares, who was airlifted from
Liberia on August 7 after contracting the disease while working for a
non-governmental organization in the African country started using the
experimental drug, Zmapp last Saturday 9th August but sadly lost the
battle to the deadly virus. He was being treated at Carlos III hospital Madrid
where he had been quarantined since his return from Liberia.
This will be the first European that has died from the recent outbreak of
the deadly virus.
