A 23-year-old man has died after being attacked by bees as he and a friend were hiking in Usery Mountain Park in Arizona.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said Alex Bestler, who originally came from Louisiana, had been stung more than 1,000 times.
It is thought the bees which killed Mr Bestler may have been Africanized honey bees - sometimes known as killer bees - which are far more aggressive than regular bees.
Mr Bestler and his friend were hiking the Merkle Memorial Trail in the hills above Mesa around 9am when a large swarm of bees appeared without warning.
Joaquin Romero, 34, died Oct. 30 trying to help a customer who had just finished the course, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office.
"After grabbing a zip-line harness on a customer to steady them as they landed on the tower platform, the worker and the customer were both pulled off the zip-line tower," stated the news release issued Thursday. "The worker let go of the harness and fell about 50 feet to the valley floor."
Investigators also determined that La Jolla Zip Zoom Zip Line failed to train its worker on recognizing fall hazards and did not "assess the workplace to determine the presence of hazards and did not report a work-related hospitalization within 24 hours."
“La Jolla Zip Zoom Zip Line failed to meet their obligation to protect their employees,” San Diego OSHA area director Derek Engard is quoted as saying in the news release. “If they had simply provided the proper protective equipment, this senseless tragedy could have been prevented.”
Zip Zoom Zip Line has been cited for four serious safety violations, according to the Department of Labor, and faces nearly $25,000 in fines.
Romero's broken body sustained multiple blunt-force injuries during his fall. He was taken by paramedics to Sharp Memorial Hospital in the Kearny Mesa neighborhood of San Diego.
