Overview
- Daniel Owen, 47, a Quality Schools International director, and his son Cooper, 15, died following the October 15 attack during a family holiday in Laos.
- The swarm struck as they descended from a tree on a zip-line course, with their guide also targeted according to a source cited in reports.
- They reached a nearby clinic conscious with bodies covered in stings exceeding one hundred, then were transferred to a hospital.

- QSI paid tribute to Owen’s 18 years of service, while the local clinician noted deaths from hornet stings are rare in Laos.
