Popstar collapses and dies on stage after snake bite

TVC E. A popstar carried on performing for 45 minutes despite being bitten by a cobra, before collapsing and dying on stage.

This distressing video shows the moment Irma Bule, 29, was attacked mid-performance in the village of Karawang, West Java, by the venomous snake.

The Indonesian singer was well-known for using reptiles in her acts and thought the king cobra, called Rianti, had been de-fanged.

But when the snake bit her thigh, it injected venom into her bloodstream until a snake handler pulled it away.

The popstar carried on singing for 45 minutes, but began vomiting and having seizures.

She was later confirmed dead in hospital.

Ferlando Octavion Auzura, who was in the audience, told reporters: ‘In the middle of the second song, Irma stepped on the snake’s tail. The snake then bit Irma in her thigh.’

The singer, who had also used boa constrictors and pythons in previous acts, refused the offer of an antidote, according to reports.

Police say they are investigating the incident and have asked people in the audience for information.

Irma’s mother Encum said that her daughter had always used a python but this time a cobra was provided by the show’s organisers.

Usually the pythons her daughter performed with had their jaws taped together for extra security, even though they were not toxic, she told reporters.

‘My daughter might not have known that the snake that was given to her for the show was a dangerous cobra.

‘She was told she could wear it, even though its mouth was not closed with duct tape,’ said the entertainer’s mother.

So we ask do you think she killed herself?
