As authorities wait on an official cause of death for a teenager who might have died from a snake bite, the are considering he may have committed suicide by letting the venomous snake bite him.
Austin Animal Protection Office says the public need not worry about a snake on the loose since they found the victim's Monocled Cobra early Friday morning.
Around 2:40 a.m. on Friday, a 911 caller said he found a dead snake on the side of the frontage road of Interstate 35, right in front of Lowe's and CarMax.
Officers arrived on scene and located a snake, which was covered in ants.
"When I got the call, I was greatly relieved, obviously," says Mark Sloat, Austin Animal Protection Supervisor. "I kind of wish the snake was alive, but for the public's sake — the fact that we found it. This is a busy area, a lot of cars parked here already, so the public definitely could have been at risk with this snake."
