World famous Chef dies after being stung by wasp as he laid flowers at mum’s grave

A chef tragically died after being stung by a wasp while placing a flower on his mother’s grave.

Marc Pavel suffered an allergic reaction and began experiencing severe breathing difficulties as he drove home shortly after the incident. He stopped his car just a few yards from his house and got out to call for help but passed out before he could find anyone.

Bystanders found Marc, 47, slumped over on the ground. When medics arrived, they determined he had lost consciousness due to anaphylaxis caused by the wasp sting. He was revived and taken to a hospital in Trieste, Italy, but his condition worsened. He fell into a coma and died four days after being stung at the cemetery.

Marc had earned the title of Cook of the Year in his region in 2012. His mother had passed away in 2019.
