A famous Italian chef died after being stung by a wasp while bringing flowers to his mother’s grave.
Marc Pavel, 47, was stung by a wasp on Friday, 26th July, as he was visiting his mother’s grave.
As he was driving back home he began having severe difficulty breathing.
He was just metres from his house when he stopped to seek help.
But he collapsed before he could find anyone.
Locals found him slumped on the ground after he had suffered cardiac arrest caused by anaphylaxis.
Marc was taken to a hospital in Trieste, Italy, but his condition worsened and he fell into a coma.
He died for days later.
The chef was best known for pumpkin cappuccino with an edible cup in which toasted almonds and slices of foie gras were intertwined.
He has received several awards throughout his career, with his fame and recognition stretching even beyond the Italian border.
For several years, he was one of the pillars of the Trieste Chefs’ Association and Italian ambassador for Skmer Acmer, the association of chefs from the European and Mediterranean regions, according to local media reports.
In February, a nine-year-old girl miraculously survived being stung 500 times by a swarm of bees following a car crash.
Alice Soares Albino crawled out of the car which crashed off a cliff and killed her granddad and great-granddad in Espirito Santo, Brazil.
Her granddad, Jose Pereira Novais, 77, lost control of the car which also killed Alice’s great granddad Paulo Soares Ribeiro, 96.
She was then immediately attacked by a swarm of bees who were disturbed during the car crash.
