"Hulya Kocyigit, 11, died in a hospital in Van a day after her 15-year-old sister, Fatma Kocyigit, succumbed to the disease [bird flu], Sahin said. Their brother, Mehmet Ali Kocyigit, 14, died Sunday. The four children were hospitalized with high fevers, coughing and bleeding in their throats.
The doctor said the youngsters most likely contracted the virus while playing with the heads of dead chickens infected with the disease. The children had reportedly tossed the chicken heads like balls inside their house in Dogubayazit, near the Iranian border.
"They played with the heads for days," Sahin said.
