The body of the American “collector” was sent to the Baltimore Medical Institute, where it will be autopsied.
According to local animal control officials who were responsible for isolating the snakes, some reptiles found in captivity cannot even be kept under state laws.
“Our chief of animal control said that in his 30-plus years of experience, he’s never encountered this kind of thing before,” Jennifer Harris, a spokeswoman for Charles County Animal Control, said in an interview.
“I want to reassure the community that none of the snakes escaped during captivity. I know the people who live in the area are concerned that they are in danger, but we have made sure that all snakes are rescued safely after your death.”
