Quebec's Health Department confirmed Thursday that one person in the province has died of an E. coli infection after possibly eating contaminated walnuts.
The person had pre-existing health problems, a ministry spokesperson told CBC News.
No other information about the individual was released.
So far, 13 cases of E. coli illness in Canada have been linked to contaminated walnuts distributed by Quebec-based Amira Enterprises.
Nine of the cases have been in Quebec. Two have been confirmed in Ontario along with two in New Brunswick.

Health Canada has been warning people to avoid eating shelled walnuts from bulk bins or certain brands, including Amira, Tia and Merit Selection.
There is concern that nuts sold in Quebec, Ontario and Atlantic Canada since Jan. 1 may be contaminated with the same strain of E. coli that killed seven people and made hundreds of others sick 11 years ago in Walkerton, Ont.
In all, public health officials say nine people have had to be hospitalized and two people developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, an illness associated with E. coli infections that can result in kidney failure.
Infection from E. coli can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses. Symptoms include severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea.
Company gets walnuts from U.S.
Amira Enterprises Inc., which has recalled the products, said the walnuts were imported from the U.S.
The recall notice also mentions Mistral Mix containing walnuts, and Salad Booster with walnuts, which are sold under the brand names Amira and Tia.
All package sizes — including walnut halves and crumb packs — all lot codes and all best-before dates are affected.
The products were distributed in Atlantic Canada, Quebec and Ontario but may also have been sold in other provinces.
Until further notice, the public health agency says consumers who have raw shelled walnuts in their home can reduce the risk of E. coli infection by roasting the walnuts before eating them.
Consumers should place the nuts on a cooking sheet and bake them in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 10 minutes, turning the nuts over once after five minutes.
