ATLANTA – Federal officials have confirmed the death of a 31-year-old Centers for Disease Control and Prevention worker who had been missing in Haiti since a devastating earthquake hit the country four weeks ago, the agency said Tuesday.
The body of Diane Caves, a CDC program analyst based at the agency’s Atlanta headquarters, was identified Monday after it was found in the rubble of the Port-au-Prince hotel where she had been staying.
Her death was announced to CDC employees in a memo from the agency’s director, Dr. Thomas Frieden.
