He was in Nigeria.
The first U.S. citizen to die of ebola died in Nigeria over the summer. He was on his way to the U.S. to his family. He held dual citizenship in Liberia and U.S. I believe there have been around a dozen cases there since then, including deaths of his medical personnel and illness of the medical personnel's families.
