Young, who graduated from Miami in December and worked at a coffee shop and deli in Oxford, died early Wednesday, Sept. 23, after she was flown by medical helicopter from McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital in Oxford to University Hospital in Cincinnati.
She would have turned 23 Sunday, Sept. 27. Her funeral was Saturday morning.
The Toledo Blade reported Saturday, Sept. 26, that Young’s family, of Wayne, Ohio, said she apparently died of complications from viral pneumonia.
Tests on a Butler County woman in her 20s who died this week were not positive for H1N1, according to the Ohio Department of Health, which did not identify the woman citing privacy reasons, the Blade reported.
Young, known as “Kimi” to her friends and family, graduated in 2004 from Elmwood High School in Wayne, and at Miami University earned a bachelor of arts in international studies and a bachelor of fine arts, while minoring in French and Spanish.
