The 49-year-old man had been renovating a house that has been in his family for years, said Miami Fire Rescue spokesman Ignatius Carroll, Jr.

"We believe that he found a bee infestation in the walls and tried to exterminate them himself using store-bought foggers," said Carroll.

On Saturday, his daughter and wife came to the house and couldn't find him. Assuming he was out, they stayed on the ground floor and prepared dinner, a Miami Fire Rescue spokesman said. Later, they checked upstairs to see if he was sleeping and noticed a lot of bees in one of the rooms. Initially, they closed the room to prevent the bees from getting out, but later checked again and saw him lying on the floor, not responding and apparently having fallen from a chair.

?When police officers arrived, they could hear a humming noise, like the walls were alive,? Miami Police Cmdr. Delrish Moss told the Miami Herald. ?Although we are awaiting the autopsy, and right now the death is considered unclassified, the fall likely had more to do with his death than anything to do with the bees.?

An autopsy proving the cause of the man's death has not yet been performed, police said.

?His heart was there, but the effort was too much for him, especially on a limited budget,? brother Tim Mason told the Herald. ?But he loved this home.?

A bee control expert was called in to remove the insects and advise authorities if special suits were needed. The expert said there were about 60,000 bees, the Herald reported.
