Govind Mishra, 22, travelled 50 miles to the village holding his brother's funeral but was fatally attacked by a snake while he slept a matter of hours after the service
Just four snake species are responsible for around 90% of all snakebites in India
n an unusual coincidence, a man died from a
snakebite after travelling to attend his brother's funeral - who had been killed by another snake only days before.
Govind Mishra, 22, was fatally attacked in his sleep by the reptile after making a long journey to his elder sibling's last rites in Bhawanipur village in
India.
His brother, 38-year-old Arvind Mishra, died last Tuesday and his
funeral was held a day later on Wednesday, reports Indian news agency
PTI.
Police confirmed Govind's death on Thursday in an incident that also saw another family member
bitten while sleeping in the same property.

I wonder if the original snake outsourced the job to the 2nd snake to finish off the family/project.
