'Snake Salvation' Pastor Dies From Snakebite

A Kentucky preacher famous for handling snakes during religious services, has died after being bitten by a poisonous snake at his church.

Jamie Coots was bitten at his church in Middlesboro, Ky., and died after Coots refused to go to the hospital for further treatment, according to police.

The Middlesboro Police said they believed Coots was 42 years old.

Coots was the star of National Geographic's "Snake Salvation" reality series, which followed the 42-year-old as he worked to preserve his way of religious way of life at his church, the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name.

Coots told ABC News during an earlier interview for "Nightline" that he and his followers believe that God calls upon them to handle venomous serpents and to drink other poisons. If bitten, Coots and his parishioners refuse medical treatment because they believe that their fate is in God's hands.

Snake Handling: Religious Right or Community Menace?

Police said they received a call about a snakebite injury around 8:30 from Coots' church. However, when emergency responders arrived at the scene, Coots had already driven home about one to two miles from his church.

Police and medical personal then went to his home and found that Coots had been bitten on his hand. For another 40 minutes medical personal stayed with Coots and tried to persuade him to go to the hospital for further medical attention.

Coots refused and eventually the emergency responders left. An hour after they left, another call was made from Coots' home to say that the pastor had died. Emergency personal and the coroner was dispatched to the scene. Currently the death is being treated as a non-criminal investigation.

Both Coots' father and grandfather handled snakes as Pentecostal preachers and Coots wanted to pass on the tradition to his son. Last year Coots showed ABC News his backyard snake shack. He had a permit that allowed him to legally keep the animals.

... fyi to the internet police I didn't quote the entire article.

also there are passages where it says God can not be mocked. I can't jump off a cliff and expect God to catch me when he already gave me some common sense.

 

Mocked?

 

he doesn't grow back amputee's arms or legs either. too obvious of a miracle, i guess.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      He just had his 5th year option picked up, I think we are still digging the hole. As far as DJ Moore, fools. How many picks did we waste chasing a replacement? I count a second and two firsts being what that cost. And going without for two years.   I guess they traded him because you don’t need to spend as much on receivers with Bryce… or some such bullshit as they thought at the time.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      I want to sign him so the excuse can be removed if (when) our offense looks mediocre again.  Supposedly TE is the lone weak spot in our offense.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Broadcast I agree with, he'd be a great color commentator, like the early days of Romo where he was constantly predicting what was about to happen, but I disagree with the pregame part for the same reason as my last post in here.  Pregame is about flash and hyping people up for the games, not granular level specific breakdown of film, which is what Luke does best.   I actually don't think he'd be very good in the pregame role because of that, it's not what he does best and he doesn't have that Gronk/Burleson/etc type of excitement in his presentation style that is needed for those pregame shows.   I almost think he'd actually be best suited to join the Manningcast for some games.  Having him and Peyton breakdown what they're seeing from each side of the ball on the same plays would actually be quite interesting to watch (although admittedly, he might be kinda boring when interviewing the guests there lol)
