Doctors have confirmed that Robin Williams, the little girl who died Wednesday evening, had a strain of influenza in her system. Now, a second death is being reported.

The Ingham Regional Medical Center says a woman in her eighties, with flu related symptoms, is dead. No more details are available regarding her death.

Doctors say it's still to early to tell if the flu was the cause of ten year old William's death. A letter sent home with kids heading off for Christmas vacation explained that, after an autopsy, other viruses were also found in her system.

Health officials caution parents to watch their children for symptoms over the long break.
