How this happened is beyond me. A snake that already had its head chopped off, bites the chef trying to cook it and kills him...and it was all captured on film. The extraordinary video footage shows how a snake's head can writhe around long after it is removed from the body...
A chef preparing a dish from cobra flesh died when the snake's head bit him - 20 minutes after it was cut off.
Victim Peng Fan had been preparing a special dish made from the Indochinese spitting cobra, a rare delicacy in Asia where eating snakes is commonplace.
But when he went to throw the serpent's severed head into the waste bin, it bit him - injecting him with its fast acting venom.
Police say Mr Peng died before he could be given life saving anti-venom in hospital.
