Man stung to death by bees

The swarm attacked Seeraj stinging him an untold number of times as he screamed in pain. His wife Agatha ran to his assistance and she too suffered bee stings and had to run to safety. A neighbour identified as Gatcliffe Bhagallo rushed to Seeraj’s assistance by throwing himself on him. But the pain from the bee stings was too much for him to bear causing him to also run off.

Seeraj was later conveyed to the Rio Claro Health Centre where he was attended to by Dr Sattar. He died hours later. Yesterday, Anand Seeraj described his brother as a kind, helpful person who would always render assistance to someone in need. “My brother lived for his family and was loved by persons around him.” He said that the incident has caused a lot of grief for his family and added that he never expected his brother’s life to be snuffed out that way.
