South African naturalist and YouTuber dies after snake bite
A well-known South African naturalist and YouTuber died in agony in hospital after being bitten by a snake. The man fought for his life in the hospital for several weeks. It was discovered that he suffered an anaphylactic shock because he was allergic to the snake's venom.
Dingo Dinkelman was a well-known and somewhat controversial naturalist recognisable online. His YouTube videos had a huge fan base and were very popular.
The man often presented chilling videos with venomous snakes. This passion became a curse for him and ultimately took his life.
Graham "Dingo" Dinkelman was a naturalist and YouTuber known for his videos about exotic and dangerous animal species. A month ago, he was bitten by a green mamba and has been in the intensive care unit since then.
He passed away on Saturday, 27th October. The sad news was shared on social media by his wife, who took the opportunity to thank close ones for their presence and support during this difficult time for her. The portal mirror.co.uk quoted her words:
Dingo fought incredibly hard throughout this very difficult period. We know that he was fighting to be here with us and we are so grateful for this. Sadly, despite his strength and resilience, my beloved husband passed away peacefully today, surrounded by his family, wrote Kirsty.
Aside from his beloved wife, the naturalist left behind their three children. While he was in a coma in the hospital, it was his wife who managed his social media channels, providing fans with updates on his health condition.
At the end of September, she wrote about the causes of the man's poor condition. It emerged that he was allergic to the snake's venom. His condition worsened due to anaphylactic shock, which ultimately led to his death.
