A hiker was stung by a swarm of bees and died Thursday in Arizona.
Officials told media outlets the man was stung more than 1,000 times while visiting from Louisiana.
AZcentral.com reports the 23-year-old was hiking with a friend when a swarm of bees appeared. His friend was able to run to safety in a nearby restroom, but the man became covered in bees before emergency crews could get to him.
He was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
KTVK reports the investigation into what exactly happened during the attack is ongoing.
The area where the attack occurred is currently closed while experts locate the bees.
