Bummer June 13th
June 13, 2012: 26-year-old Indonesian singer Irma Bule performs in a village in West Java, using a live king cobra as a stage prop. The snake bites Bule. She continues performing, but collapses and dies from the venomous bite 45 minutes later.
Bule wasn’t a well-known performer. Like many other young, single mothers in Indonesia hoping for more lucrative musical careers, she performed for a small fee plus whatever tips she could get from the audience. Performers who incorporate snakes into their act are paid slightly more, but the snakes are generally non-venomous and often have their mouths taped shut. Bule’s mother believes Bule did not know the snake she was performing with was venomous.
