Video blogger Arslan Valeev, 31, was caught on camera being bitten by a deadly snake and his condition worsened in front of viewers while broadcasting online.
In a horrific turn of events, snake expert Arslan Valeev livestreamed his painful death after deciding to let his pet black mamba bite his hand.
Saddened by his failed marriage, Valeev appealed to the spectators who watched in horror to contact his ex-wife, as he died of poison on September 25, 2017.
The 31-year-old man suddenly became ill during the live broadcast. His breathing became heavy, his eyes rolled back in his head and his body began to lose sensation due to the effects of the snake's venom.
Arslan and his ex-wife Ekaterina “Katya” Pyatyzhkina became popular online thanks to their YouTube channels dedicated to snakes and cats, and gathered a large army of fans.
Although the moment of the bite and his death were not shown, a distraught Russian video blogger and former zoo worker showed off the wound on his arm, reports Mirror.

At the end of the video, he rose to his feet and staggered out of the frame, dying shortly thereafter.
Friends said Arslan suspected infidelity on Katya's part, while rumors emerged that he had allegedly used physical force on her, which resulted in a concussion.
Arslan continued to publicly apologize to his wife for his actions. Despite his apologies, she finalized the divorce and began a new relationship.
In a heartbreaking live broadcast, Valeev said: “Hello. So, guys. It's time to do what I have to do. Live broadcast [inaudible].”
After he walked out of frame, a whispered “ouch” was heard, hinting at a fatal encounter with a deadly snake. Returning to the frame, he ominously informed viewers, “If I die, I die.”
In a touching moment that was broadcast live, he said: “I'm just going to be with you for a while. Just in case, I have a message for Katya on my mobile.”
As his condition worsened, his breathing became more rapid and his eyes moved involuntarily; his muscle control seemed to weaken.
Arslan showed his bleeding finger and conveyed a touching message: “Tell Katya that I loved her very much.
“Beautiful, isn't it? Oh, shit, this is so awful. Bye everyone. I can't believe this is happening to me.”
He then read out his ex-wife's contact information.
Struggling with his worsening condition, he continued: “This is Katya’s number, if someone can call her, if she has the opportunity to come and see me, I will be happy.”

He expressed his awareness of the inevitability by saying, “I'm actually dying already. Goodbye. I'd love to see Katya. Damn, I'm shaking.”
At least one spectator called an ambulance, which later arrived and took him to hospital, but medics were unable to save him.
He showed his nearly paralyzed arms on air, but stood up and walked away, apparently to his bathroom, when the video ended.
It was also claimed that he went outside in search of help.
Speaking after the tragedy, Katya said she rushed to the hospital where he was taken, but it was too late.
She also noted that she was unable to watch the latest broadcast, with the shocked 24-year-old adding: “I loved him very much. I still can't comprehend what happened.”
The day before, he announced a special broadcast featuring one of his “favorite snakes,” named Mamba, without giving any hints about his intentions.
A close associate shared the events on his social media: “Having turned on the camera, as usual, he went to pull the snake out of the terra
