"Can you even imagine this? She made it to the hospital alive, yet she died simply because there was no antivenom available. What sort of hospital lacks something so basic? Yet another young, full-of-life singer has lost her life to a snake bite that should be easily treatable. People are saying I'm going too far with my outrage. No, I'm just fed up!"
