BBC news clip of the death of luke yeomans.

my heart broke today.

i found this clip online from the bbc.

luke yeomans was a close friend of mine for a few years while i was living in england. i learned a lot of things from him in those years. we shared loads of interesting stories and was one of a few people who could ALWAYS put a smile on my face. a lot of the animals in my collection came from him and some of the animals in his collection came from me. he was in the midst of doing some of the most amazing work with king cobras at the time of his passing and has made so many amazing contributions to the reptile world from bearded dragons to king cobras, he had done it, seen, it and perfected it. his passing has hit me especially hard and i can only hope that some day i will be even a fraction as good at anything as he is with kings. he is greatly missed by tons of people, by me especially. i have nothing but the utmost respect for him. i wish him the best in his rest, he has certainly earned it. it is a sad, sad day for the reptile community and i have lost a dear, dear friend. thanks for watching feel free to comment.

It is sorry, and I am extremely sorry for your loss. I never personally knew him, but I don't think he would have wanted it any other way :)

Bill Hasst didnt die from a snake bite and he was bitten 174 times and lived to be 100. He just passed away recently from old age. Do you honestly think that these experienced people dont know that snake can kill them, so whats your point?

@leibstandarte1000 You MUST be about 1 years old.This was a ''venomous'' snake.A king cobra,kills you with its venom in about 30 minutes.Gosh -.-'

[flyinggeckoprods]

It is sad this happened.my question is was he wearing his venom defender gloves when this happened and did the gloves fail or was he bit somewhere else on his person

[leibstandarte1000]

amazing!:O

[ComicalHolocaust]

I'm sure he knew what he was doing, any one who thinks he was "cruel to snakes" by watching his videos has the intelligence of a 3 year old. Just goes to show, you're only one breath away from the other side. better read the Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth...

He was such a nice guy
