The python, who had not eaten in one month, escaped its cage approximately 10 times in the same month that the strangulation death occurred. The snake escaped earlier in the night and was discovered by the mother's boyfriend, who placed the snake in an unsecured sack, that the snake later slithered out of, finding its way into the two year old's crib. The snake then strangled the child to death and was biting the toddler on the head when the boyfriend entered the room just before 10 am.
