Dead While Getting Dressed

On an ordinary morning, a man finishes getting dressed, lies down on his bed and is dead within minutes. He lives alone, and nobody entered the house that night. The autopsy finds a healthy man, one tiny wound on the sole of his foot, and traces of venom. Nothing dangerous is found in the house. What happened?
