Question Ball python birth defect

This snake has no head, therefore no mouth or nose and only one eye where his mouth should be. After all of his brothers and sisters pipped, I cut open the egg to find this guy. It would sometimes twitch when touched but mostly didn't move. It was only being kept alive by the egg sack. When that was used up it would have died because it could not eat or breathe. I put it down by placing it in the freezer after I took the photos. This is just one of those one in a million defects I guess. Never hatched anything else like it or even seen anything else like it.
