I personally see how it could happen... an 8' snake, being around someone's neck, tightens up to hold on and causes the guy to go unconscious and pass out, the extended lack of oxygen to the brain could cause him to die. It's not like it was a feeding error, there were no bite marks. Years ago something similar happened here in the US (I was trying to find the story earlier to no avail), in that case, the man that tragically died was also highly intoxicated (drunk).
So while I do think there could very well be more to this story and I do not like the negative publicity to large snake keeping, I do think it's within the realm of possibilities.
It's very sad and I'm so sorry for the loss of Daniel's life, from what I read he seemed like a very passionate keeper and animal lover.
