Featured in the net’s Snake Salvation, Coots was bitten by a rattlesnake during a church service Saturday and later died. “While it may be hard for some to understand the choices he made due to his deeply held convictions, one cannot help but admire his dedication and bravery,” said David Lyle, CEO of National Geographic Channels. “We wanted to air this episode as a way to give perspective to the world-wide discussion his death has caused.” Snake Salvation: They Shall Take Up Serpents airs at 10p.
