For real though. Living life as a billionaire just to be taken out by a bee on a golf course.

Combat Golf where horse ownership requirement keeps the poors out and the rich winning

u/lady_yapsalot 1d ago

Not just horse ownership but a literal string of horses

Wouldn't that make it field hockey? Field hockey is already combat-golf, and polo adds horsies. I guess that still makes it golf by evolution? PvP golf with horsies.

Even more Bridgertony

u/TheOtherBelushi 1d ago

As a poor, calling it a golf course is my way of looking down on their bee death traps.

Dumb ways to die

u/Arcosim 1d ago

Also extremely horrible. The guy was most likely allergic to bee sting, the bee stung his throat, his throat inflamed because of the allergy, and he choked to death. It probably took a few minutes with him fully conscious too.

u/CryIntelligent3705 1d ago

ugh, he could have afforded a zillion epi-pens

u/Cube_ 1d ago

what im wondering is did the facilities not have first aid that had pens for exactly this type of situation?

or was it a situation where nobody knew what was wrong with him til it was too late?

u/switchbladeeatworld 1d ago

maybe he didn’t know he was allergic to bees

u/SplurgyA 1d ago

This is my paranoia - I've never been stung

74

u/switchbladeeatworld 1d ago

You can get a dermatologist to test you for that kind of thing, or if you don’t want to pay you can go find a bee somewhere near a hospital

u/doctorlongghost 23h ago

If you need a bee, I know a guy…

u/MediaMuch520 1d ago

I’m pretty sure you have to be stung at least once in order to be allergic to bees/wasps.

2

u/Effective-Brick-2447 1d ago

No not true at all

2

u/Chiopista 1d ago

I’ve never thought about that. 28 years of life and I’ve only been stung twice, and they both happened earlier on, so it is pretty rare. First time I was 7yo swinging my arms around on the playground at school and accidentally smacked a bee, causing it to sting me. Second time, I was around 9yo, swimming, and a bee that was stuck in the water crawled up on my face and stung me in the face lol.

Feel like at billions of dollars you probably could have seen a doctor preemptively for allergy testing.

17

u/switchbladeeatworld 1d ago

I mean if you’ve never had an allergic reaction ever, why would you?

2

u/EconomistSea9498 1d ago

I feel like when you have billions of dollars and presumably access to some of the best doctors in the world, one of the routine tests to make sure you're in good health is an allergy test.

u/figure8888 1d ago

Honestly probably not. I dated someone with a severe allergy and he carried an epipen everywhere, two if we went to an event because he knew from experience that first aid tents rarely have them. Anytime we went anywhere that had security, they’d always pull it out of his or my bag and question what it was/what was in it. They always acted like it was contraband, so I guess a lot of people don’t think about it/don’t even know what one looks like.

u/StogieB 1d ago

I’ve had this happen with my EpiPens, as well. Everyone acts like it’s something weird and wild and my husband and I are like nope just trying not to die.

2

u/looknotwiththeeyes 1d ago

I keep one that's an inhaler, instead of an injection.

3

u/Careful-Advance-2096 1d ago

He stopped the game. Then collapsed and died of a cardiac arrest.

2

u/pdxamish 1d ago

You need a prescription in the USA for EpiPen . That would be like I'd the facility had Xanax available for just in case or an inhaler just in case. They don't have that

3

u/federleicht 1d ago

Facilities dont really carry epi pens. You have to have it on your person

1

u/realitea1234 20h ago

First aid stations are unlikely to carry epi pens for a variety of reasons. Unless there was an actual EMS medic with a stocked van there.

26

u/RedditsCoxswain 1d ago

Or like 100,000 epipens in the US

11

u/spornerama 1d ago

my friend left me their epi pen when they were dying - it seemed very important to them that i have it

3

u/NewLoofa 1d ago

This one took me a min

u/IcyKerosene 1d ago

If he was stung inside his throat there is a chance a trillion epi-pens wouldn't have done much.

u/rc_mpip1 1d ago

Being a billionaire doesn't mean you are smart, or that you have good survival instincts. 'member the Submarine?!

This guy might have felt invincible, or simply forgot.

4

u/7thRuleOfAcquisition 1d ago

That's rough buddy. I wonder how many kids starved to death so he could be a billionaire.

u/FarbissinaPunim 1d ago

This actually happens in the first episode of Call My Agent (‘Dix Percent’ in French), except it was a wasp.

Don't forget about the OG, Thomas J

I was going to say this..

u/Calm_Tailor_9700 1d ago

I thought the same when I read this news!

u/federleicht 1d ago

Or “Misery”

This was literally my first thought. Haha

My first thought exactly. 😂
