Suicide-By-Cobra Thwarted

POSTED: 10:21 am EDT September 20, 2004

LEOBEN, Austria -- A man whose apparent attempt to kill himself using a cobra was thwarted by Austrian police is in critical condition.

The snake dealer who had more than 60 poisonous snakes in his apartment is suffering from a gunshot wound and a snake bite.

Intoxicated and distraught, he sent a cell phone message to his girlfriend announcing the suicide attempt. Police said they arrived and found him entwined by two deadly cobras, which he swung at officers trying to overpower him.
