Beau Horan, a 16-year-old from Queensland, was bitten by a snake at his family home and later died in the hospital. He was remembered as a kind and gentle boy who loved gel blasters and video games.
Queensland teenager Beau Horan is being remembered as a "kind and gentle boy" who loved gel blasters and playing video games with his friends.
Stepsister Monique Eddy said Beau had been in the backyard of his family home at Wurdong Heights, a rural suburb near Gladstone, when he came inside saying he felt unwell and collapsed, sustaining a head injury in the fall.) "His injuries were pretty severe. Unfortunately because it wasn't treated within the first minutes the venom had travelled through the body.""It's overwhelming and really nice to take some off that stress off Bek to be able to give Beau a beautiful send off," Ms Eddy said.Eastern browns are the only snake species in the world that can kill a person in less than 15 minutes, but fatal bites are rare.
"My recommendation is if you come across a snake, or there is a possibility you've been bitten, you need to use a tourniquet and immobilise that area, and call triple-0 straight away," he said.
