Snake Lover Strangled To Death By His Own Pet Python Inside His House (Photos)

A snake lover was strangled to death by his own pet python - 8ft Tiny - after it wrapped itself around him and suffocated him.

An inquest into the death of Dan Brandon, who was found dead in his home, today heard he was tragically killed by his pet.
Dan, 31, was discovered last year at his home in Church Crookham, Fleet, in the room in which he kept his snakes, with the pet out of his pen.

Mr Bradley said the snake then hid,
probably "because of the shock of him falling or because of his reaction".
He added Mr Brandon was asphyxiated "as a result of contact with Tiny", and that he "cannot see any other reason" for the death.
The coroner added: "Tiny is instrumental in the death but that does not mean this was through aggression. This could have been a confrontation of affection.
"It is a moment of peace and quiet with Tiny that has gone wrong for whatever reason."
