Kalyn Rolan was fatally bitten by fire ants
An Alabama woman was attacked and killed by fire ants a day after her own mother's death.
Kalyn Rolan was sitting on a haystack talking on the phone to make funeral arrangements for her recently departed mother when the insects began biting her.
The 29-year-old mother-of-two suffered an allergic reaction to the bites, including swelling and shortness of breath.
Ms Rolan died in her husband's arms on 20 May in Selma, less than a day after the death of her mother, Roberta Lynn.
Family members told WSFA-TV that Ms Rolan was severely allergic to fire ants, which are found around the southeastern US.
Her family has set up a GoFundMe account to raise $5,000 towards funeral costs.
