A Charles County, MD man died with over 100 venomous snakes, which he showed interest in on Facebook, in his home, the police department said.

David Riston, of the 5500 block of Rafael Drive in Pomfret, was identified as the man who died by his daughter and home records.

The man was seen inside the home, lying on the floor and unconscious. Emergency Medical Services forced their way into the home and found the man. He was pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff's office said. Jennifer Harris, a spokesperson for Charles County, said the snakes were well cared for. But now they are bringing in an expert from out of state to help remove the snakes from the home."They were able to identify cobras, rattlesnakes, pythons, and black mambas, a combination of venomous and non-venomous snakes," Harris said."They are documenting and removing them now."

Local police said that a man found dead in his Charles County, MD home was living with more than 100 venomous snakes. His cause of death is unknown. (So many errors in the story, and a poorly worded tweet.)
