A tourist has been killed by a snake bite in Australia, dying days after being bitten by the venomous reptile.

The 25-year-old French backpacker was bitten by the snake, possibly a brown snake, while harvesting grain in the town of Nullawil in Australia, around 200 miles northwest of Melbourne. The unfortunate traveler was airlifted to a hospital in Melbourne after being found unresponsive on October 24, having suffered from cardiac arrest. He died two days later after his life support was switched off, local news ABC Australia said.
