Dead man found, surrounded by 60,000 bees

MIAMI — A Miami man was found dead in his house with his body surrounded by about 60,000 swarming bees, authorities said Sunday.

The 49-year-old man had been renovating a house that has been in his family for years, said Miami Fire Rescue spokesman Ignatius Carroll, Jr.

“We believe that he found a bee infestation in the walls and tried to exterminate them himself using store-bought foggers,” said Carroll.
