Python Kills Snake Man

Australia - A snake expert is reported to have been crushed to death by his giant pet python.

Swede Erik Attmarsson, 28, was found dead in a house in Australia with the monster snake right beside him.

It is feared the 17ft long beast suffocated him in a horrific attack.

The Adelaide Advertiser reported that the victim's body had injuries consistent with being crushed to death by a snake.

But police said the report was wrong and that there was nothing to suggest animal had been involved in the killing on Sunday.

Attmarsson worked for a firm in Tanunda where he was involved in milking hundreds of venomous snakes for the production of anti-venom.

A post-mortem was due to be carried out on his body this week to determine how he died.
