A Pentecostal reverend, Pastor Jamie Coots of 'Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name', known for preaching with snakes coiled around him has lost his life after one of the creatures suddenly bit him.
Pastor Coots, before his death, starred in National Geographic's reality show about snake-handling in church and said he believed Christians were instructed by Jesus Christ in Mark 16:15-18, to pick up serpents, and they will never be hurt, as long as they are anointed by God.
