They were in the apartment above the store… The preliminary investigation has led police to believe that a python snake escaped its enclosure in the store sometime overnight. The victims were boys aged five and seven. Julie Rogers-Marsh said, “It’s believed the snake escaped from a pet store called Reptile Ocean.

I pinned him down and put him in a cage and the SPCA took him,” Savoie said. It went through the ceiling…and the snake fell through the living room from the ceiling.

The snake went through a ventilation system. I turned the lights on and I saw this horrific scene. “I thought they were sleeping until I saw the hole in the ceiling. Savoie discovered the boys in their apartment on Monday morning. I don’t know what to think,” he told Global News. The owner of “Reptile Ocean”, Jean-Claude Savoie, said that this was a tragic incident. The report doesn’t go into much detail, but police believe the boa constrictor possibly traveled through ventilation ducts and into the apartment where the 5- and 7-year old victims were living. The snake reportedly escaped from a pet store, named “Reptile Ocean”, and made it’s way into the apartment above the store. On Monday, a boa constrictor escaped from a pet store in Campbellton, New Brunswick, and killed two children.
