I agree with you. A constrictor such as a python or a boa would asphyxiate its victim, then consume it. It would not leave 2 dead prey items. They don’t kill for fun, like a sheep-killing dog or something.

LANESVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A 14-foot pet python crushed its owner to death, authorities said Tuesday after finding the snake loose in a southern Indiana shed with the man’s body.
Patrick Von Allmen, 23, was found Monday evening in the shed near Lanesville, about 15 miles west of Louisville
A medical examiner determined that the death was consistent with asphyxiation caused by compression of the neck and chest, said Conservation Officer Mark Farmer.
That is what I’m thinking, exactly.
I just saw an explanation that if not hungry they will kill if they perceive a threat and then not eat.
