The husband of the first American to die from the swine flu is denying media reports that she had a pre-existing medical condition.
Harlingen man Steven Trunnell appeared on CNN's "Larry King Live" with the couple’s children and the family’s attorney on Monday night.
Trunnell is launching an investigation into the conditions at a pig farm in Veracruz, Mexico where the deadly disease is believed to have originated.
The grieving husband said his late wife Judy Trunnell was "a healthy pregnant woman" who had never been diagnosed with "major medical complications of any kind."
Judy slipped into a coma while in the hospital but gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
Steven Trunnell said Judy wasn't sick before coming down with the swine flu.
“That's absolutely false…she was a healthy, pregnant woman eight months pregnant until she contracted the virus,” Steven told Larry King. “She became acutely ill but never diagnosed with any major medical complications of any kind."
