Grace Wiley did die from an Idian Cobra. The snake had a pattern of a G on the hood. She was bitten on the middle finger while taking a picture. She took her glasses off for the pose while soothing the venomous snake. After being bitten she calmly returned the snake back to its cage and called 2 of her friends. One was her brother who lived next door and her dear friend who was also an expert of venomous snakes. Her friend who suggested to amputate her arm was shunned away by Grace. Grace calmly went to her medicine cabinet and and took 1 shot of anti-venom. Grace knew what her fate was. She knew she was going to die. After the ambulance came she went to the hospital. Already arranged was an iron lung or a respirator. Grace died 90 minutes after being bittin. As She was pulled into the ambulance she told her family and friends to take care of her reptiles. Her desire to take care of reptiles was tried to be maintained but was failed. There was also a museum idea brought to the surface but was never built. Her dangerous handling of snakes if remembered to this day.
