Churchgoer bitten by snake during service dies after 'refusing medical treatment'

A man has died after being bitten by a snake during a church service and refusing to be seen by doctors.

Worshipper John David Brock was injured while handling the snake at a service in Jenson, Kentucky, when the reptile sunk its teeth into his arm.

The Bell County Sherriff's Office said the 60-year-old decided not to seek medical treatment after being given the nasty bite at the small town's Mossy Simpson Pentecostal Church, instead going on to his brother's home where he died from the injury.
