Thomas Eric Duncan died at 7.51am on Wednesday at Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas
He exposed 48 people to the disease before he was hospitalized, including his fiancée and two of her children
His condition took a turn for the worse this weekend and by Tuesday he was unresponsive and medically sedated
Doctors began giving Duncan an experimental antiviral drug on Monday
His body still carries the disease and must now be disposed of
CDC rules call for remains will be wrapped in a plastic shroud and zipped up in two leak-proof bags
He will either be cremated or buried in a hermetically sealed casket
