>>Jimmy, this whole story is just suspect. I believe there's much more to this story than what is available right now. That wasn't a local copperhead shown last night.

There's a little more to the story...
Wade went into aniphalactic (spelling?) shock after he was bitten by the copperhead.
He had been bitten by another copperhead about a year ago and at that time didn't receive any medical attention.
That first bite led to the reaction to the second bite.
The photo shown was just a stock photo, it wasn't the snake in question.
Wade was buried today.
