German tourist dies after cobra bite during snake show at Egyptian resort

A 57-year-old German tourist died at a luxury resort in Hurghada, Egypt in early April after a cobra from a hotel snake charmer performance crawled into his pants and bit him on the leg. The tourist exhibited poisoning symptoms and required resuscitation before dying shortly after arriving at a local hospital. The incident occurred during a hotel entertainment program where snakes were routinely placed in close contact with audience members.
