I hope they also have someone knowledgeable about snakes- I hope they look for bite marks or snake saliva that might indicate an accidental feeding bite. The fact
that they found the snake loosely wrapped around her suggests it's possible that this was staged -strangled by human, blamed on snake placed there figuring it might
stay a while to keep warm, & incriminating itself in the eyes of whoever found her. Someone knowing her habits (working there alone) who also felt comfortable with
handling snakes like this really could have done this.(perhaps a partner that co-owned the snakes & wanted them all for themselves?) But a good examiner should be able to tell the difference, I think, between human & snake strangling.
An 8 foot snake is also heavy, so sure, it could also have been a completely unrelated health issue as ladywhipple02 suggested, like a stroke or heart attack, while she
was handling the snake. As it is, the headline is selling a lot of newspapers today. I dread the backlash.
