Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:15 a.m. on August 1, 2024, Employee #1 and three other employees were walking toward a tool shed that was about to be moved by a forklift. As the forklift lifted the shed, a swarm of bees emerged and attacked the employees. The employees attempted to flee, but Employee #1 suffered multiple bee stings, experienced convulsions, and collapsed. Emergency medical services (EMS) arrived on the scene but were unable to revive Employee #1. The cause of death was determined to be a heart attack/cardiovascular event triggered by multiple bee stings. One other employee was stung but did not require hospitalization.
