一名蒙特利尔近郊小镇镇长在乡下度周末时被黄蜂反复蛰咬后因过敏性休克身亡。

　　Lucie F. Roussel, the mayor of La Prairie, was near her cottage in the Eastern Townships Sunday when she stepped on a wasps’ nest, and was stung repeatedly. A friend said she suffered at least 15 stings. Ms. Roussel, 51, was transported from her cottage near Stratford to hospital in Thetford Mines, Que., where she was pronounced dead.

　　Colleagues on city council in the community just west of Montreal and other friends said they were not aware she suffered from allergies. But a neighbour in Stratford said she was indeed allergic to venom from bee and wasp stings but did not have an epinephrine injector with her to counteract anaphylactic shock.

　　市议会的同事和其他朋友表示并不知道她有过敏史。但Stratford的一名邻居说她确实对蜜蜂和黄蜂的毒液过敏，可当时并未随身携带治疗过敏性休克的肾上腺素注射器。

　　Ms. Roussel leaves an 18-year-old daughter, Constance, and a 19-year-old son, Antonin. Before she entered politics, Ms. Roussel practised law in partnership with her husband, Yvon Lemay. He died of a heart attack in December, 2009, at age 47.
