boston25news.com – Steven Daniel was cutting his grass at his home in Eastland, Texas, on April 27 when bees started to swarm.
Police found Daniel in truck still being stung.
The officer wrote that Daniel “seemed out of it, had labored breathing, and was slurring.”
A second officer said that there were “multiple bee stingers embedded into Daniel’s skin as his face began to swell.”
Daniel was able to tell officers about the bee attack, adding that he could barely see.
Daniel became unresponsive and stopped breathing after being loaded into an ambulance.
Despite attempts to save his life, Daniel was pronounced dead at an area hospital, KTVT reported.
His official cause of death was due to “circulatory collapse due to bee stings.” Daniel was not allergic but had other health issues, officials said.
Beekeeper Crissy Ward told the television station that April to June is called “swarm season” because the bees are active because of warm temperatures and blooming plants.
