I agree with AbsoluteApril, I think it's sad but entirely possible (likely) that the snake was "technically" responsible. I say "technically" because really the owner himself was somehow responsible, for over-estimating his ability, under-estimating the strength of the snake, & for handling it alone. If, as thomas davis suggested, it was underfed, that was an accident waiting to happen- not because we appeal as prey, but just tempting fate & instincts. An 8' snake is strong and a lot to untangle...plus, IF he had long hair, the snake might also have been hard to remove because of that: I'll confess that I have always worn my hair long, and many years ago when fairly new to snakes, it took nothing more than a large bull snake to demonstrate how easily that can happen.
Just another angle to consider.
