OAKLAND, Calif.—Health officials have confirmed California's fifth swine flu death. 
Alameda County health officials said Tuesday that a middle-aged man with H1N1 virus in that county has died. Officials, citing agency policy, did not release any information about the man or when he became ill. They said in a statement that he had been hospitalized with chronic health conditions. 
An Orange County man's death from swine flu was reported by health officials Monday. A San Bernardino County man, a Los Angeles County woman and a 9-year-old child from Contra Costa County all died of the virus in May. 
California had recorded 796 confirmed cases of the swine flu as of June 4, the latest figures available from the state Department of Health.
