ThMr. Duncan left Liberia on September 19th to travel to the United States. It is reported that he showed no symptoms while travelling which is supposedly a sign that he was not contagious.On Monday, September 15th, his landlord’s daughter became gravely ill and he helped him carry her to the hospital. She died the next day (9/16/14). Soon after, his son became ill and died on Wednesday, September 17th. It is reported that 2 other neighbors who may have come in contact with the daughter also died and their bodies were collected on Wednesday as well. Two days later, Mr Duncan boarded a plane for the United States.
