No real news but there seems to be a bit of a step back from the first reports that a python strangled (?) two boys to the muted representation that they died of asphyxiation.

A preliminary autopsy found the boys died of asphyxiation and a criminal investigation is ongoing.
"I think the message will be passed here again today in this church that, you know, it was an accident. Let's not rush to judgment," said Comeau.
The shop owner, "Mr. Savoie, he is a human being and you know, he is suffering, he is grieving, so everyone is grieving as well for Mr. Savoie," he said.
"Let the investigation conclude itself."

It's believed the python made its way through the top of its enclosure and into a ventilation system before falling through the ceiling and into the living room of the apartment. The animal was 4.3 metres long and weighed about 45 kilograms.

The coroner's office in New Brunswick has said there will be no decision on whether to have an inquest until after legal proceedings are complete.

So many questions. It was in a ventilation system then fell through the ceiling... through a grate? Did the whole duct crash through? Where did it exit the ducts?
A coroner's report has been done. All they say is that the children were asphyxiated. I don't think it would be too far to report damages such as cracked ribs which may be consistent with a certain manner of snake attack.
I can't imagine we have heard the last of this.
