Yi Pov, 40, decided to remove a hornet's nest near his home so that people walking close by wouldn't be in danger, and so that he could eat the hornets' nest.
While removing the nest Yi was stung between 10 and 20 times. He went home and went to bed in a lot of pain and died in his sleep. Yi's family thought he was only stung once or twice and didn't realize the extent of Yi's injuries.
This is the first instance of hornets killing a man in Baray district, Cambodia, but in September, a 9-year-old boy in Kampot province died after being stung over 30 times by hornets after a strong wind blew the nest out of the tree close to the boy.
