UNFORTUNATELY everyone is just going to have to be patient until the full results are released.
This statement does not say only cardiac arrest so that does not rule out the snakes as the culprit here. Thus far, on this site, it has been an interesting view of confirmation bias in action. The most likely scenario at this point is the unfortunate and untimely death of the two boys by the snake due to an irresponsible keeper. If there is evidence that contradicts that then I am waiting to hear it.
