Too much of a badass to go to the hospital for two snake bites!

"His girlfriend reported that he yelled he'd been bitten by a snake and got out of the river to find he'd been bitten twice once on each leg," Cole said. "I'm not sure what kind of snake bit him, but the only
venomous water snake I'm aware of is a cottonmouth. It could have been something else, but we just don't know."
Cole said that despite his girlfriend's pleas for De Leon to go to a hospital, the man refused and instead went home. "That evening he got lethargic but just wouldn't go to a hospital," Cole said. "They went to bed and she reported he was snoring more loudly than usual. The next morning when she woke up she found him dead."
