"Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra today confirmed one more Thai man has died of bird flu, the first fatality in the kingdom this year and the 13th since the first outbreak in January 2004.
``The second test on a dead person came out last night and found that the man in Kanchanaburi province had died from the bird flu,'' Thaksin said during his weekly press conference. ``He has a track record of contact with chickens. But don't panic, the health minister this afternoon will go to the area to supervise the cleaning.'' No age was given for the dead man. "
