"Their whole bodies were covered in red spots. It was very, very painful. A lot of stings, more than 100, over the whole body. I thought already that it's a very dangerous situation because I had never seen it as bad as that, Phanomsay Phakan, a doctor at Phakan Arocavet Clinic, where the father and son were taken."
"We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Dan Owen, Director of QSI International School of Haiphong, and his son Cooper, due to a tragic accident, they wrote. Dan dedicated 18 years to QSI, serving in five different schools and touching countless lives with his warmth, leadership, and unwavering commitment to education. He was deeply loved across our community and will be profoundly missed."
"Out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones during this difficult time, we have no further comment, the spokesperson said."
Two Americans, Daniel Owen, 46, and his son Cooper, 15, were killed by swarms of Asian giant hornets while ziplining near Luang Prabang, Laos, on October 15. Medical staff reported hundreds of stings covering their bodies, with more than 100 stings each and extensive red spots; a doctor said he had never seen it so severe. The pair and their guide struggled to descend from a tree after being attacked. They were taken to Phakan Arocavet Clinic and died a few hours later at the hospital, despite being conscious on arrival. The victims lived in Vietnam; Daniel Owen directed QSI International School in Haiphong. The U.S. State Department confirmed two American deaths and QSI issued a statement mourning their loss.
