There is a possibility the snake was hungry and attempted to swallow him, thus suffocating him but then the snake decided he was too large to swallow. There should be evidence of this on the man's head and face.

There was a story a couple of years ago that a "pet" constrictor went into baby's room at night, killed it and was in the process of eating it. There should be some laws about dangerous animals not being in houses with children.

The Sun reports that Dan Brandon, 31, was found at his home in Church Crookham, Southern England, in the room in which he kept his snakes. His pet python was out of its pen.

Authorities confirmed Monday that Brandon died of asphyxiation, according to The Sun. An investigation has been launched into whether the python was involved in Brandon’s death. The Telegraph reports that, if the python did kill Brandon, it would be the first case of its kind in the U.K.
