Soon I tried to ask the area’s neighbors for help, however they could not do much for him in the face of the imminent danger posed by the bees so they called Emergencias.Al place state Civil Protection elements came to care for the eldest adult, who had unfortunately already died from the stings of African bees. According to the neighbors of the place, the now occiso was identified as Adolfo Morales, 85, who no longer had vital signs when paramedics arrived. Coupled with the death of the eldest adult, the Fire Department had to evict 50 people from about 10 street homes, due to the danger that the swarm continued to present in the colony. For two hours, at the fire department, the inhabitants of Río Grijalva street stayed away from their homes until the swarm dissipated.
