Girlfriend Mourns, As Angry Lizard Bites Man To Death In His Room by IzunnaOkafor(m): 11:12pm On Feb 23 |
By Izunna Okafor, Awka It was a heartrending incident in Lakewood, Colorado, as a 34-year-old man, Christopher Ward lost his life after being bitten by his pet lizard (Gila monster), named Winston. The deceased was said to have fought for his dear life for days on a ventilator before eventually succumbing to the venomous bite of the lizard. Although the details surrounding Christopher's tragic end are still being examined by officials in Jefferson County, it was gathered that the girlfriend of the deceased, when she opened the door to his room after several ignored knocks, discovered the lizard clamped onto his hand, leading to a series of severe symptoms, including vomiting and unconsciousness. In the aftermath of the devastating event, Christopher's girlfriend reportedly handed over his boyfriend's two pet lizards (named Winston and Potato) over to Lakewood Animal Control. Additionally, she also angrily relocated more than two dozen spiders of various species his boyfriend was keeping in his home as pets. Investigations revealed that owning the Gila monsters lizard was against the law in Lakewood. The lizard was acquired from a reptile exhibition in Denver in October, while the other one (named Potato) came from a breeder in Arizona in November. After Christopher's tragic death, the two lizards were sent to Reptile Gardens in South Dakota by the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, while the spiders found new homes in an animal shelter. According to research, although that specie of lizard known as Gila monsters, are typically not deadly, they possess venom that can cause significant harm. As at the time of filing this report, investigations are still ongoing to uncover the exact circumstances surrounding Christopher's untimely demise in the hands of his exotic lizard, even as his girlfriend continues to mourn and battle the emotions occasioned by the unfortunate incident.

The boyfriend was a weirdo. Keeping lizards and spiders for what? Spiders!! It was an accident that would have happened anyways. Why do I have the feeling that it was "potato" that bit and killed him. 2 Likes |

A woman is more dangerous than those animals and insects. The girlfriend is my number 1 suspect. She possibly manipulated the animals. There is a reason why they say "Fear woman" like the one in this link https://www.nairaland.com/8010255/jealous-19-yr-old-girl-run-after 2 Likes 1 Share |

These white people are most times weird and crazy. I visited one of my friends in New York who shared the house with one white guy, in their living room the white guy has some glass cages like aquarium with different species of snakes in them. I was like, how can a normal human being be comfortably sleeping and waking up in the same space with those dangerous reptiles, it beats my imagination! 1 Like

This is the most misleading image and title. The lizard pictured isn't a Gila monster, one of which is the culprit in this story. |

This kind death no de pain me. They had it coming. I watched one about a girl that was keeping Gabon viper and several other snakes as pet, the dad had to tell her to leave the house. Since she was not ready to part with the snakes. She moved out with the mindset that nobody understood her and that she was a professional. Months later d boyfriend had to go check on her cos she was not picking calls. Found her dead. Wetin kill am, Gabon viper. Even that guy in snakes in the city.... Make I no talk. 1 Like |
