Virginia Woman Killed by Her 13-Foot Pet Python
Black was pronounced dead at the scene. A preliminary medical examiner's report indicates she died of asphyxiation. Police say Black was trying to give the 13-foot tiger python medicine when the incident happened.
Animal control officers found the snake in the bedroom and are holding it at their office.
God and/or the processes of natural selection have produced many animals that do not recognize humans as prey animals and generally coexist peacefully with them, despite the occasional hairball on the bed or worse mess behind the couch. Pythons are not one of these.
