Q on 2006 Cincinnati death by boa

I was looking for something and found this article from DEC 2006. A Cincinnati man was killed by his "13ft boa constrictor". Was it ever determined that this was a python instead of a boa?

It was a python that was under fed and the man was drunk.

Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it was a Burmese python and not a boa constrictor.

Burmese python about 11 ft and skin/bones.

So are there no documented human deaths by a boa constrictor in the United States?
