This guy sold his business in the Uk and his penthouse married his Thai Bride, so what was he doing living in a Tin Hut near Pattaya.

The Sun Online - News: Brit dad killed by a scorpion

He must have been allergic to the venom from the sting. There's loads of scorpions in the area here where I live. One day when my son was quite small, he walked in the door, said, "Dad, look what I've found! What is it? I think he like s me!" There, sitting on his hand was a live scorpion!! But he didn't get stung!

Another time, my daughter reached for a towel to dry her hands, but there was a scorpion hidden, which had crawled in the nearby window, hidden in the folds of the towel, and she was stung on the hand by it. It was quite painful for her, and we took her to the hospital. It turned out to be no worse than a bad bee sting. IINM, I think it is more rare for a scorpion sting to kill than a bee sting, because more people are allergic to bee venom.

That`s a real sad story, very unlucky to have that reaction from a sting. Young kids back home in Wales too. Just shows you never know what life has in store. Condolences to the families too.
