Police said experienced handler Dan Brandon, 31, who owned several as pets, had suffered “serious injuries”.
One of his beloved snakes, which can grow up to 25ft long, was outside of its pen when his body was discovered by officers.
Authorities confirmed that it was under investigation.
Pythons have killed humans before though experts say this would be the first time one has fatally struck in Britain.
Wildlife fan Dan, who is believed to have lived with his parents, was
found dead on August 25 in Church Crookham, Hants. He was discovered in
his room, where he kept all his snakes.
