Ontario's Ministry of Health has announced the first recorded death of a measles patient from the current outbreak that started in October.

Dr. Kieran Moore, chief medical officer of health, issued a statement Thursday saying a southwestern Ontario infant has died after being born prematurely and infected with the highly contagious virus through the mother.

Moore offered few other details.

Southwestern Public Health, which covers Oxford and Elgin counties, confirmed the child was from a community in their coverage area.

Mother was not vaccinated and killed her child. These kinds of deaths need to be prosecuted as negligent homicide.
