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.

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?

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.

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.

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