Swedish man dies after 'sex with hornet nest'

A man whose bloated body was mistaken for a whale carcass was stung to death by hoets after apparently trying to have sex with their nest.

The 35-year-old, known as Hasse, was found unconscious after his reportedly stinging sex session.

The apparently misguided man died an hour after he was located on his farm in Ystad, Sweden.

A neighbour said he looked like a beached whale, due to the inflammation caused by the stings.

Following an autopsy that revealed Hasse had 146 stings on his body – 54 of those on his genitals – authorities came to the conclusion he tried to have sex with the hoet"s nest.

Police are said to have found semen and the deceased man"s pubic hair on a few of the dead insects and at the opening of the nest.

Unsurprisingly, the reports of the unfortunate event did not go down well with animal rights campaigners, who expressed conce for the hoets.
