73-year-old Roy Martinez died early this morning while undergoing treatment at the Western Regional Hospital. The Bulldozer operator who works for a Gold Mining Company in the Chiquibul had been attacked yesterday by a swarm of killer Bees. And by 1:30 this morning when he finally arrived at the hospital he had entered a semi-conscious state. We note that the mining operation is deep, deep in the forest and many hours away from any medical care.
And while Martinez's employer may have wished to fly him out for treatment he was found at an hour in which it was already too late and too dangerous for a helicopter to fly.
It is not uncommon for bulldozers to accidentally run over bee nests.
