I believe this is the first death from a boa constrictor in the WORLD. I've never even heard of a death from a wild one in their natural range.

Weird things happen sometimes. I remember hearing about a man who choked to death while fishing. He caught a small fish, either a perch or bluegill I think, he was laughing at the small size when the thing flipped off of the hook and into his mouth. it went part way down his throat and got stuck. They couldn't pull it out of his mouth due to the spines on the fins so he suffocated. I guess maybe they should ban fishing too.
