A German tourist died after being bitten by a snake during a snake-charming show at a hotel in Hurghada, Egypt. The incident occurred when a snake charmer allowed a cobra to crawl into the trousers of the 57-year-old man, resulting in a bite to his leg. The victim showed signs of poisoning and was resuscitated before being taken to a hospital, where he later died. The man was on vacation with two relatives. German police and prosecutors are investigating the death and are awaiting toxicology test results. Egyptian authorities have stated they were unaware of the incident.
