According to John M. Barry's THE GREAT INFLUENZA, "When [influenza] kills, it usually does so in one of two ways: either quickly and directly with a violent viral pneumonia...or more slowly and indirectly by stripping the body of defenses, allowing bacteria to invade the lungs [causing] bacterial pneumonia." (p.35)
Gordon Oliver's official cause of death is listed as pneumonia, and it was brought on by the horrible H1N1 influenza. He was only 21 years old.
