The first person reported to have died from measles in the U.S. in a decade, a "school-aged child" who died overnight in a children's hospital in West Texas, was announced by health officials on Wednesday, as a Texas outbreak has grown from a handful of cases to more than 130 across two states. The child was not vaccinated against the disease, the Texas health department said in a statement on Wednesday. Media accounts say the child died at a Lubbock, Texas hospital. At least 124 people were known to be infected in West Texas since early February, Texas health officials announced, most of them children. An additional 9 cases were announced on Tuesday, in eastern New Mexico, near the Texas state line where the outbreak has spread to about 10 counties, Texas health officials said.
