B.C. top doctor Bonnie Henry said Tuesday that the public health investigation into Canada's first human case of avian flu has closed for now, adding that officials might not ever know how the B.C. teenager might have contracted the avian flu.

Henry said the teenager remains in"stable" but"critical" condition at B.C.'s Children Hospital, adding that investigators have not been able to speak to the individual, but to families and friends. "Absolutely, if this person recovers, which we absolutely hope, and we have an opportunity to speak , we may be able to get more information," Henry said."But that may not be possible," she said, noting that the teenager might not remember details."So unless something, we won't be continuing."
