A Darwin hockey player has died after a snake bit him on the finger during an on-field training session.
Paramedics were called to the hockey complex in the suburb of Marrara on Tuesday night following reports that a player had fallen over and lost consciousness.
It is believed 26-year-old Karl Berry had picked up a snake off the playing surface of the field and thrown it into nearby bushes.
He did not notice he had been bitten and continued training — via redwolf.newsvine.com
