An Indiana woman was found dead with a snake around her neck in a residence that officials are describing as a 'reptile home.'
Medics attempted life-saving measures on Hurst, of Battle Ground, but were unsuccessful, Indiana State Police said in a statement.
About 20 of the 140 caged snakes in the home, which Hurst visited twice a week, belonged to her, the statement said."She was apparently there checking on her snakes," he said."For whatever reason, she apparently got the snake out and she was doing what people do with snakes." The individual who found the woman did not want to be identified, but was able to remove the snake from her neck, according to Riley.
