The World Health Organisation has yet to confirm the cause of death which, if confirmed, along with that of a 36 year old man two days ago in a Jakarta hospital,would bring the country's death toll to 11.

Tests on both victims will be carried out at a WHO laboratory in Hong Kong.

According to Indonesian health official Hariadi Wibisono both had been tested locally as positive for bird flu.
