<\/p>\nAn elderly man in Australia has died after being bitten by a snake as he tried to uncoil it from his friend\u2019s leg, the Guardian reported. The tragic incident happened on Saturday when the two men were attending the Koumala State School 100-year celebrations in central Queensland.<\/p>\n
When the 69-year-old spotted a snake curled around his friend\u2019s ankle, he tried to remove it but was bitten by the reptile multiple times. After being bitten several times on the chest and arm, he went into cardiac arrest. Despite several attempts by paramedics and other attendees to revive him, he died at the scene.<\/p>\n
\u201dThere was a rapid call for an ambulance and bystanders performed CPR immediately as the man collapsed. Despite heroic measures by both the bystanders and the Queensland Ambulance Service, he was unfortunately unable to be revived and has passed away,\u201d Claire Bertenshaw, the Queensland Ambulance Service\u2019s acting deputy commissioner said at a press conference on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, the second man, also in his 60s, was transported to Mackay Base Hospital and is in a stable condition.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe other fellow is well \u2013 he was taken to the hospital last night. I can\u2019t say with any certainty whether he was bitten or not. My thoughts are with the family and friends of the patient who tragically lost their life last night\u201d, Ms Bertenshaw added<\/p>\n

After the incident, tributes flooded social media with many calling him a \u201dgood friend and neighbour\u201d and a \u201dhero\u201d for his brave actions.<\/p>\n
While it is not known what type of snake was involved in the incident, Dr Bertenshaw said the man\u2019s symptoms pointed to a highly venomous eastern brown snake<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
