カナダで少年2人死亡、ヘビに絞め殺された疑い
カナダ東部ニューブランズウィック州で5日午前、友人宅に泊まっていた5歳と7歳の少年が死亡しているのが見つかった。警察は、階下のペットショップから逃げ出したヘビに絞め殺されたとみて調べている。
警察によると、死亡した少年2人は同州キャンベルトンの友人宅で就寝中だった。
この建物の階下には爬虫(はちゅう)類を販売するペットショップがあり、おりから逃げ出した1匹のヘビが換気口を伝って住宅に入り込み、2人を絞め殺したとみられる。
遺体は6日に検視を行って詳しい死因などを調べる。ヘビは捕獲され、警察に押収された。
ヘビが逃げたとみられるペットショップ「レプタイル・オーシャン」のフェイスブックのページは、哀悼の談話が掲載された後、「これ以上の中傷コメントを避けるため」として一時的に閉鎖された。

Reptile Ocean Responds To Commenters On Facebook, Says Page Will Shut Down
New Brunswick RCMP say two young boys killed by python while asleep
Two child are dead after a snake apparently escaped from a pet store in Campbellton, New Brunswick.
Const. Jullie Rogers-Marsh says the boys, aged five and seven, were sleeping in an apartment above Reptile Ocean Inc. when the incident occurred.
It’s not clear if they lived there.
She says police arrived at the apartment around 6:30 a.m.Monday, at which point officers found the two dead boys.
Rogers-Marsh says it’s believed the snake made its way into the apartment through the ventilation system sometime through the overnight hours.
“It (the snake) had escaped its enclosure at the store sometime through the night, got into the ventilation system and into the upstairs apartment,” said Rogers-Marsh.
“It’s believed the two boys were strangled by the snake.”
She said the snake was later captured and was in the possession of police.
Rogers-Marsh couldn’t confirm whether the two boys were related.
She said the owner of the reptile store lived in the apartment above.
Autopsies will be performed on the two victims on Tuesday.
This statement was published by Reptile Ocean Inc. on Facebook by someone who says they are not the owner, rather someone who “helps” with the page:
“deepest symphathies goes out to the family of the children. a terrible accident without a meaning. this page will be shut down temporarily to avoid any further demeaning comments. you should be ashamed of yourselves. we all have a heavy heart today. as anyone would. and attacks on the animals owner are unneccesary.”
