MIAMI -- Two more people have died of confirmed cases of swine flu in Miami-Dade County, just one day after Broward County health officials reported the first death there from the illness.

According to the Miami-Dade County Health Department, the deaths of a 31-year-old woman and a 63-year-old man were confirmed Thursday to be related to swine flu.

The deaths are the second and third in the county to be attributed to swine flu after a 9-year-old Miami boy died from the illness in June.

Miami-Dade County has reported 493 confirmed cases of swine flu.

On Wednesday, the Broward County Health Department reported that county's first death from a confirmed case of swine flu. Michael Waldfogel, 58, of Davie was found dead in his Davie home on June 24.

One person also died from swine flu in Orlando since the outbreak began.
