we really need to ask for, and wait, and watch out for, two crucially important pieces of information.
- AUTOPSY REPORTS. Bite marks consistent with the snake on both, yes or no? Cause of death consistent with strangulation or heart failure due to blood stream disruption? Or something else?
- CHARGES BEING FILED. The people that know most are the police officers investigating this right now. Investigations are secret, but as soon as charges are filed with prosecutors / state attorneys, it goes public. Will there be murder charges, or will there be charges consistent with a snake owner allowing a snake to escape, causing a freak accident?
pieces of data i picked up from CNN: Royal canadian mounted police has forensics experts and major crime experts working on this case, and autopsy of both boys will be performed today, august 6, 2013. Also the police is in possession of the snake, which is still alive.
So far the assertion that the snake did it is only based on what officers first believed when arriving at the scene. There is a complete investigation going on, but it seems like nothing leaked or got publicised about any results of that large scale investigation.
The media is still cautious because everything is based on heresay originating from the initial police response.
