A man with AIDS died at a hospital in Columbus, Ohio, less than a week after he was brought home from China by the U.S. Air Force, a hospital spokesman said. Brent Anderson, 38, died Saturday night, hospital spokesman David Crawford said. He said the primary cause of death was cardio-pulmonary arrest. Anderson had been brought to the hospital July 19 after he was diagnosed in China with AIDS. His family said commercial airlines refused to accept him as a passenger and they asked the U.S. government for help.
