via Canoe.ca, a QMI report: Quebec man found dead at home may have had Ebola.

A man who died in his Quebec home on Friday night had recently travelled to Africa and displayed symptoms associated with the Ebola virus.

Daniel Lamarre had returned on Friday to Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, a suburb on Montreal's south shore, from Burkina Faso, a West African country that has not been directly affected by the recent Ebola outbreak that's killed over 9.400 people.

Wife Aileen Rioux, who had not seen him since his return, found him in their apartment. During the trip, he had complained of having caught the flu, she told TVA, QMI Agency's sister TV station.

Unprotected police attempted to revive him on the scene. Several hours later, emergency personnel in protective clothing were on site. The body remained in the apartment until Saturday morning.

"It's improvisation," Rioux said. "Where is the emergency plan for Ebola after all this time talking about it?"

Rioux remains quarantined in the apartment, and police who may have been exposed to the virus are to remain in isolation at headquarters.

It seems very unlikely that the man could have contracted Ebola in Burkina Faso, which doesn't even share a border with the three main Ebola countries. But if he did, all of West Africa is in trouble.

Monrovia - A Liberian doctor treated with experimental American anti-Ebola serum ZMapp has died, the west African nation said on Monday. 

Abraham Borbor had been improving but died on Sunday night, Liberian Information Minister Lewis Brown told AFP. 

"He was showing signs of progress but he finally died. The government regrets this loss and extends its condolences to the bereaved family," Brown said. 

Two other health workers receiving the serum are still in treatment, said the minister, adding that there were "signs of hope". 

The World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Thursday there had been a "significant improvement" in the condition of a doctor and nurse being treated with ZMapp in Liberia, and that another doctor was getting better, but still in a serious condition. 

Liberia took delivery of ZMapp on 13 August from the United States, which gave the serum to two US citizens who were declared cured last week.
