Dr. Martin Salia, who contracted Ebola in Africa and was later flown to the United States, has died, officials with Nebraska Medical Center said.

Salia is the third patient treated for the virus at the medical center.

“It is with an extremely heavy heart that we share this news,” Dr. Phil Smith, medical director of the Biocontainment Unit at Nebraska Medical Center and professor of infectious diseases at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, said in a statement.

Salia, 44, is a permanent resident in the U.S. and married to a U.S. citizen. Salia was a native of Sierra Leone.

Salia was suffering from advanced symptoms of Ebola when he arrived at the hospital Saturday, authorities said, including kidney and respiratory failure.

Authorities plan to discuss Salia’s death at a news conference this morning.

  1. Now that this idiot is dead they’re going to begin the drama of the nurse that attended him sneezing on a bus, his rectal thermometer being used to stir drinks at the local bar, and him spitting on people passing by in the hospital’s hallways….. or some similar nonsense.

    He was brought here for dramatic effect, so let the drama begin. You’re still not sticking me with any Ebola vaccine.

  2. Did he even exist? (as an ‘Ebola victim’)

    All I’ve seen are photos of an extremely healthy looking black man.

  3. Once again, WHERE IS THE PROOF??!!!!! 😡

    Photos of his death and him with the disease? Did he even exist? Come on….Anyone can say someone had Ebola and died. SHOW US THE PROOF!! Enough with the Osama Bin Laden copycat death tactic. It’s old and outdated and everyone knew it was phoney even when it happened. The elite are really out of ideas. It’s pathetic. No one believes their shit anymore.
