(CNN) -- Police in Canada are looking into the deaths of two young boys who appear to have been strangled by a python.

The boys, ages 5 and 7, were found dead Monday morning at an apartment in Campbellton, New Brunswick. They had been sleeping over at a friend's apartment above a reptile store, according to a statement from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Early indications suggest that a snake from the store escaped its enclosure, got into the ventilation system, then the apartment, and strangled the two boys, the statement said.

Here is an update:

It turns out the snake was being kept in the same apartment as the boys. And, you need a permit for these snakes in New Brunswick.

Why you would keep a python in an apartment with small children is totally beyond my comprehension. They should have had a half dozen pit bulls instead.

This recent news mortifies me.

Just for sanitary reasons, who would let little kids slosh in this filth. Sure, they had fun. They were boys.
