A father has tragically died from a suspected venomous snakebite at a private property in Queensland.
The man, aged in his 60s, was reportedly bitten on his hand at Lockyer Valley, about 50km from Brisbane before 10am on Saturday.
The father-of-two died before paramedics arrived.
The snake species is yet to be confirmed following a toxicology report, but is believed to be an eastern brown.
The man’s neighbour Michelle Vedredi, told the Courier Mail she received multiple calls and messages from family and friends following the tragedy.
