This is crazy.
http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/05/world/americas/canada-snake-deaths/index.html?hpt=hp_t2(CNN) -- Police in Canada are looking into the deaths of two young boys who appear to have been strangled by a python.
The boys, ages 5 and 7, were found dead Monday morning at an apartment in Campbellton, New Brunswick. They had been sleeping over at a friend's apartment above a reptile store, according to a statement from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Early indications suggest that a snake from the store escaped its enclosure, got into the ventilation system, then the apartment, and strangled the two boys, the statement said.
RCMP Sgt. Alain Tremblay described the snake as a python.
It was captured, and police have the snake in their possession.
Canadian broadcaster CBC reported the python is between 11 and nearly 15 feet long and weighs more than 99 pounds.
Autopsies on the boys' bodies will be performed Tuesday.
