Man Fatally Stung By Hornets

CLE ELUM, Wash. (AP) — Officials say a 60-year-old from North Bend man has died after being stung multiple times by hornets.

The Kittitas County Sheriff's Office says 60-year-old Warren Brown collapsed while cutting firewood at a campsite Friday afternoon about eight miles south of Cle Elum.

People at the campsite told deputies that Brown accidentally disturbed a hornet's nest while cutting firewood and was stung multiple times. The Seattle Times reports the man had an allergic reaction to the stings and did not have an EpiPen.

Efforts by his friends responding medical personnel were unsuccessful.
