It is unclear how the herdsmen contracted the deadly plague.Authorities are also investigating the second case of the plague: a 15-year old who had consumed marmot hunted by a dog.Last year, two people in Mongolia also died from the plague after consuming raw meat of the marmot, the same type of rodent as the suspected second case of this year.
