The Liberian man who fell ill with Ebola while in the Dallas area is dead.

Thomas Eric Duncan died Wednesday morning at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas.  He had been in critical condition for days and rumors had been rampant for days that Duncan was on the verge of death.

Duncan’s family is still in isolation and is being monitored by health officials for any Ebola symptoms.   Several others who had close contact with Duncan have been taken to a secret secured location.  The Centers for Disease Control says no one has shown signs of Ebola.

The family confirmed that they had received confirmation of Duncan’s death.

CNN is reporting that airports within the United States are now going to take temperatures of passengers arriving from countries with Ebola infections.
