Snake Handler Dies Helping People Get Over Their Fear of Snakes

I am all for irony, but not like this.

Snake Handler Dieter Zorn was in France giving a demonstration for people who are afraid of snakes. A nice thing to do right? Well, things took a turn for the worse when one of the reptiles attacked him. Medical personal showed up on scene but were unable to save him from the venom in his system.

His partner in the show said that he had a rare allergic reaction to the bites and that he wouldn't have wanted the viper to be blamed.

I am not an expert and not speaking ill of the dead but I am sure that this show didn't help anyone conquer their fear.
