Overview
- The 57-year-old traveler was at a resort snake-charmer show with his family in Hurghada when a snake slipped into his pants and bit his leg.
- He showed severe signs of venom poisoning, received resuscitation at the scene, was taken to a local hospital, and later died.
- Police said the hotel act used two snakes believed to be cobras and placed them on audience members as part of the performance.
- The Division of Criminal Investigation in Memmingen opened the case, and toxicology testing will help confirm the cause.
- The case has renewed questions about hotel wildlife shows and guest safety, as the WHO says venomous snakebites kill tens of thousands each year.
