The dead snake killer body (Photo: Rithy, Koh Santepheap newspaper)Phnom Penh (dpa) - A Cambodian man who took off his trousers, tied the legs at the bottom and wrangled a 2-metre cobra into them died when it bit him through the fabric, local media reported Monday.
Khmer-language daily Koh Santepheap quoted police as saying Chab Kear, 36, saw the reptile swimming in a river just outside the capital last Thursday during a drinking session and captured it in the hopes of selling it later in the day.
He tied the animal inside his trousers and a scarf around his waist, but as he continued carousing the enraged snake managed to get its fangs free and bite Kear three times on the stomach.
The newspaper reported Kear's last words as being "don't worry - it's nothing a drink can't fix" before he succumbed to the cobra's venom.

What is the stupid man who knew this kind of snake is very dangereous and he still want to bet his life with it?
May be the end of his life.
There is nothing to blame here. Some people just love risky challenges. I have the gut feeling that it is in the gene.
In the third world, people playing with poisonous creatures from snake to scorpion to millipede ...
In developed country, they play with Unstable Flat Stealth Airplane, and Space Shuttle ... .
Yes, may be this is the end of his life. But one should remember his last word: "don't worry - it's nothing a drink can't fix"!
It is completely wrong! Believe me? See his result.
Thanks
We got one tragic from a snake bite, and you sound like you want to wipe out our culture in Cambodia.
FYI, just the last few months I have seen several truck accidents report right here with each incident killed about 5 people and injured about 20 more, and I don't even see any of your comment as hash this one.
