Police said Hurst’s cause of death would be determined during an autopsy that’s been scheduled for Friday.

 

Here we have a dead woman. With an eight foot python around her neck. And they need an autopsy?

My money is on the giant snake.

Snakes generally have a pretty good idea about what size prey they can swallow. An eight foot snake, while very strong, just isn’t looking for anything that big. As for defense, constrictors attempt to mimic venomous snakes when they feel threatened and display and make false strikes if they cannot retreat...unles she was doing something crazy like trying to feed it a rat with her teeth and it did its constrictor thing to get the rodent and in the process, her head. Or, if she was handling it and passed out, or had a heart attack, it might coil around her for warmth. So it is important that the coroner take a close look at her and not assume.

Snake was just giving her a hug.
