Officials confirm that a woman who collapsed and died inside a Brownsville hair salon did not have Ebola. 
Chopper 12 was overhead the scene on Belmont Avenue Tuesday afternoon as EMS and Hazmat crews responded. 
The Health Department says the 41-year-old woman died of an apparent heart attack and did not show any symptoms of Ebola beforehand. 
A test for Ebola was performed as a precaution because she had recently returned from West Africa.
