11yo boy is bitten by venomous snake, but his uncaring father tells him to ‘sleep it off’

An 11-year-old Australian boy died from a snake bite after his father assumed his son’s symptoms were from the effects of alcohol which he had apparently consumed earlier in the day.

The body of Tristian James Frahm was discovered by his family on November 21, a day after he had claimed to have been bitten by a snake. The tragic incident took place back in 2021, although an inquest into the boy’s death has only recently released its findings, determining that Tristian could very well have survived had he received medical attention sooner as per PEOPLE.
