A 100-pound (45-kilogram) python blamed in the strangling deaths of two Canadian boys apparently escaped from its pet store enclosure, slithered through a ventilation system and fell through the ceiling into the room where the young brothers were sleeping, the shop owner said Tuesday.

As I said on another thread: If a snake weighing 100 pounds comes crashing through the ceiling in the middle of the night, it would make enough noise to wake up everyone in the apartment. That being the case, wouldn't the two boys in the room call out for help? Wouldn't at least one of them have escaped from the snake? Wouldn't any adults in the apartment enter the room to see what was going on? The autopsies should show whether or not the boys sustained internal injuries that would be caused as a result of being crushed by a 100 pound snake. This just doesn't add up.

There it is. There had to have been a lot of noise to wake the store owner and his son if things when as has been reported. Hard to believe that neither boy was yelling when the ceiling fell in or when the snake crawled up in bed with them. How the heck did the snake get into the vent in the first place. My vents have small half inch slits which is far too small for much of anything larger than a spider to get through. Then he would have to get out of the vent system and onto the ceiling. I can see it if the snake was in the walls and made it to the ceiling which, if made of tiles, fell in with his weight landing on the boys but add the vent and no sound to the equation, then no possible way. Something else happened to those boys and the snake is the patsy.

In complete agreement.

Here is, (I hope) a link I posted on a diff thread, with very interesting interview with the owner.
