Morbid Fact Du Jour For July 18, 2009

Today’s Stupid Yet Truly Morbid Fact!

A 2-year-old Florida girl died after being strangled by a pet python that escaped from its aquarium and attacked her in her crib. Shaiunna Hare was strangled early by the 8-foot, 5-inch snake as she slept after it got out of its tank in another room of the house. Paramedics said the little girl was dead when they arrived at the central Florida home in Oxford, about 50 miles northwest of Orlando. Deputies said that the live-in boyfriend of the little girl’s mother may face charges for not having a permit for the snake, a Burmese python. Jaren Ashley Hare, 21, and her daughter shared the home with Hare’s boyfriend, 32-year-old Charles Jason Darnell. “The baby’s dead!” a sobbing caller from the house screamed to a 911 dispatcher in a recording. “Our stupid snake got out in the middle of the night and strangled the baby.”

“Stupid snake”? So, who is more stupid: the snake who finds an easy meal or the humans who keep a pet snake within striking distance of a baby?

  1. Dreary morning, DeSpair. I live in Port Orange, FL. (south of Daytona beach) I feel the need to let everyone know that stupid stuff like this happens daily here in Florida. Small children drowning, kids “fotgotten” at the mall or in the car, Child Protective services “losing” children, and our very own legal soap opera, “The Case Against Casey”. Details of which can be found at http://www.cfnews13.com. I strongly recommend reading the autopsy report for little caylee anthony. the autopsy was performed by Jan Garavaglia, A.K.A. Dr. G. The description of duct tape usage is quite different from what the media led me to believe.
