A weekend fishing trip took a tragic turn when a man drowned in Brazil after jumping in a lake to escape a swarm of bees - only to be attacked by piranhas.
The incident unfolded on Sunday at a lake on a farm in a rural area of Brasilândia de Minas, local media reported.
According to the local fire department, the 30-year-old man and his two friends were fishing at the lake when they were attacked by a huge swarm of bees.
In an attempt to escape the bees, the three fishermen jumped into the lake. Two of the men managed to swim to safety, but their friend was nowhere to be found.
The fire department was called and an officer was about to dive into the lake when he was informed it was filled with piranhas.
Officers managed to recovered the man’s body 4m from the shoreline after hours of searching.
The fire department reported the fish had “torn open several parts of the body and tore open the right side of the face”.
The man’s body was released to his family for funeral arrangements.
The BBC reports, while piranha attacks on humans are extremely rare, they can be deadly.
