Just out of curiosity how do we know the species involved? I may just be missing something.

I wouldn't be surprised if the guy had a heart attack given his age and his picture showing he was pretty heavy.

Do you really call this a death by Copper Head bite if the man died of a heart attack? I think that it may be premature to claim that the copperheads venom did in an adult male in "good health".

Sounds like a heck of a guy.
