"MK" became aware of the details of the terrible death of Arslan Valeev, who was attacked live by a black mamba

Details of the absurd death of 31-year-old video blogger and owner of an exotic animal nursery Arslan Valeev became known to MK. During a live broadcast on an Internet portal on September 23, Valeev was bitten by a poisonous snake - a black mamba, he fell into a coma, and later died. St. Petersburg Research Institute of Emergency Care named after. I.I. Dzhanelidze confirmed the death of Valeev.

As MK learned, according to one version, Valeev has recently been very worried about the separation from his wife Ekaterina (they have not lived together for more than a year). Two days before the tragedy, the young people filed an application for divorce with the registry office. The initiator was Catherine - allegedly Arslan raised his hand against her.

According to friends, on the night of September 23, the video blogger was slightly drunk. He went live, dictated Catherine’s phone number and stated that he would be glad to see her if she managed to arrive before his death. The young man announced that he was dying and said goodbye to everyone.

An acquaintance of the blogger, Andrei Derevyankin, clarified the situation a little - on September 23 at 2.14 he posted a post on the wall of one of the communities that Valeev was bitten by a black mamba, and he was taken to intensive care, without specifying which hospital. Then, until the evening of September 24, Derevyankin left a message about his friend’s critical condition, and at noon on September 25, a note about his death appeared. Again without any details.

MK managed to find out the details of the tragedy.

The first and only call to the ambulance in Vsevolzhsk (this is where Valeev lived) was registered on September 23 at 1.18. A certain girl called from the blogger's number. She introduced herself as a friend and asked the “03” doctors to urgently come to the house of her friend, who had been attacked by a snake. The young man, according to her, was in an inadequate state.

The doctors were about to rush to the call when the girl called back and canceled the call without explanation. Valeev, after consulting with friends, decided to get to the hospital on his own.

Friends took the blogger to the leading hospital in St. Petersburg - the Emergency Research Institute named after. I.I. Dzhanelidze. The patient was admitted to the toxic intensive care unit. Doctors fought for the patient’s life, but at 11:08 am on September 25, he died.

Employees of the RF Investigative Committee for the Leningrad Region are conducting an investigation into the fact. They have already talked with Valeev’s stepmother Svetlana. The blogger lived in a private one-story house on Molodezhnaya Street (the neighboring house was occupied by relatives). In the basement of the house there were terrariums where various snakes were kept. The black mamba, by the way, was sitting separately from everyone else.

We were already getting ready for bed, when suddenly Ekaterina called her husband and told her that her stepson had been bitten by a snake. - said Svetlana. We ran out into the yard, Arslan was lying near the gate. Literally he said: “Take me to Dzhanelidze, I want to live.” We loaded the guy into our Land Rover, and I got behind the wheel. All the way Arslan vomited monstrously, he complained about the cold and repeated several times that he really wanted to live and did not do it on purpose.

After Arslan was hospitalized, Svetlana called Ekaterina to come and help find the snake (the family did not know where it was). However, the black mamba was sitting in a closed terrarium.

Arslan's own mother would like to continue her son's work. But the father is categorically against keeping poisonous snakes and wild cats in the neighboring house (Arslan, in addition to snakes, had three lynxes). Ekaterina, meanwhile, plans to find homes for all the pets.

EXPERT OPINION

The channel of the popular St. Petersburg blogger Arslan Valeev has hundreds of thousands of subscribers. The 32-year-old man talked in his public about big wild cats and exotic reptiles. Viewers could see Arslan walking a puma cub, or a cobra eating a white mouse. And the other day, subscribers to the public had to witness the death of a blogger. Valeev died in front of thousands of viewers during a live broadcast after being bitten by one of the most poisonous snakes on earth, a black mamba. For more than a day, doctors fought for the man’s life, but they could not save him.

Black mamba bite

Blogger Arslan Valeev became known to the public thanks to his channel about the life of exotic animals. The 32-year-old St. Petersburg resident told subscribers about big wild cats and poisonous snakes and showed their habits and habits. In the video, Valeev played with a puma cub, stroked a lynx and deftly handled boa constrictors and pythons, unraveling a tangle of snakes and distributing them in their places.

The blogger's live broadcasts were the most popular. On the night of September 23, Valeev again decided to go live with one of his favorite poisonous snakes - the black mamba. Arslan, as always, turned on the camera and went to take the snake out of the terrarium to move it into a special plastic container for online broadcasts. The blogger has done this many times, but now something has gone wrong. When Arslan took the snake in his hands, it suddenly bit him. The man returned to the computer, showing a bite mark.

The blogger could no longer call an ambulance - his hands were numb.

"I can't believe this is happening to me"

Some viewers at first decided that Valeev was joking with them, but the “prank” dragged on too long. Arslan was getting worse every second. At the same time, the blogger realized the tragedy of the situation, because he himself is an expert in keeping poisonous snakes with 20 years of experience.

If you are bitten by a black mamba, medical attention should be provided immediately. With every second lost, a person's chances of survival decrease. However, Arslan did not stop broadcasting and continued to communicate with viewers, asking them to contact his wife. “I’ll just stay with you a little,” said Valeev. “I can’t even believe that this is happening to me.” Tell Katya that I loved her very much. If she manages to drive up to me and see me, I would be glad. In fact, I'm already dying. Farewell".

Frightened viewers called an ambulance for the blogger. Valeev found the strength to go outside and wait there for the doctors to arrive. Arslan was urgently hospitalized. Doctors put the man into an artificial coma and fought for his life for more than a day, but they were unable to save the blogger. On the afternoon of September 25, Arslan Valeev died.

What will happen to the channel?

Now the fatal broadcast has already been deleted from the network, but viewers still cannot forget this last recording of Valeev. “His channel gave so much positivity!”, “It seems like a bad dream,” “It’s like I lost a loved one,” viewers write on social networks.

The blogger's pets are under supervision. What will happen to Valeev’s projects is still unknown. It is possible that the channel about exotic animals will continue to be run by friends of the deceased man.

“On behalf of the immediate family, as well as the administration of Arslan Valeev’s resources, we express our deepest gratitude to all those who sincerely empathized during this difficult period and brought words of support to the loved ones from Arslan’s social circle,” it is written on the official page of the BobCat TV / Wild community cats." - There are many questions about the future fate of the resources, and we understand your concern about this. At the moment there is no definite answer, but we, as Arslan’s mother, Katya and the absolute majority of viewers and subscribers, would like further development of those projects that were part of life for Arslan.”

The incident with Valeev was not the first in a number of tragic cases involving exotic animal specialists. Thus, in 2006, the famous “crocodile hunter” Steve Irwin died from a blow to the chest from a poisonous stingray. The man's death was caught on film: the last moments of the Australian's life were filmed by a cameraman who was swimming behind him.

Russian video blogger Arslan Valeev died from a black mamba bite on September 25. This was reported on his BobCat TV page.

We express our sincere condolences to Arslan’s family and friends at this very difficult moment for us all! He left approximately at noon, but his Love will remain in our hearts forever!, wrote the group administrator Andrey Derevyankin.

Bite live

Live on his channel, the blogger set a poisonous snake on himself. After the bite, he was immediately hospitalized. Valeev's subscribers called the ambulance.

All these events took place on September 23. After a poisonous bite, the blogger fell into a coma and died two days later without regaining consciousness.

The recording of this stream has already disappeared from the YouTube channel. However, the shocking video is still available online. It shows Arslan sitting in a semi-fainting state, but still talking to the audience. He dictates his ex-wife's phone number.

This is Katya's phone. If someone gets through to her and she has time to drive up to me and at least see me... I would be glad,” the blogger can barely find the words, rolling his eyes. - In fact, I’m already dying... But Katya would be glad to see... How she’s shaking.

It is known that the reckless act was preceded by a loud quarrel with ex-wife Ekaterina Pytyazhkina.

Back in August, a woman said on her Instagram page that a blogger, who allegedly caught her cheating, broke into her apartment and beat her. The girl also published a certificate from the hospital with a diagnosis of concussion on social networks.

Then, however, Valeev apologized sincerely, but Catherine did not return to him. It was then that the blogger set a poisonous snake on himself during a stream.

It is known that Arslan had four lynxes living at home. As his fellow members of the public say, the animals are now under “close supervision.”

Sensitive and risky

Arslan Valeev was not just a popular blogger, but also a major expert on poisonous snakes in the Northern capital. In any case, this is how it was recommended in several large veterinary clinics in the city on the Neva. Previously, he was a zootechnician at the exotarium of the Leningrad Zoo.

His close friend Polina Maratkanova, with whom they once began working together at the Leningrad Zoo in the exotarium department, spoke of Arslan as an excellent specialist and expert in his field.

“He was not only in our city, he was one of the best in our country,” she said. He is such a very risky guy, he was not afraid of anything. But he was a very sincere person, hospitable. I corresponded with him literally last week. It's terrible that this happened to him. Reptiles were his life. He was so attached to his work. And he absolutely adored reptiles,” said a friend of the blogger.

He bred many rare species. And he did amazing things, took good videos and photographs. He created his own private exotarium, says Maratkanova.

Failed manipulation

Andrey Derevyankin, administrator of the BobCat TV public page, told his version of what happened:

The day before, Arslan announced on his Instagram stream a night broadcast on YouTube with one of his most favorite snakes - Mamba. Turning on the camera, as he regularly did before, he went to remove the snake from the terrarium to move it into a plastic container used for broadcasting. In the process of manipulating the snake, a bite was received, he said.

Since the man had worked with snakes for more than 20 years, he understood perfectly well what happened to him.

Arslan, realizing what had happened, left a message for his wife Ekaterina, and asked the audience, who turned out to be eyewitnesses, to contact Katya by phone, as his limbs began to quickly go numb, making it impossible to call for help on his own, after which he soon went outside, waiting for help to arrive, - Derevyankin tells the events of that evening.

Fast and poisonous

Among venomous snakes, the black mamba is second only in size to the king cobra. The Guinness Book of World Records says she is probably the fastest snake in the world. But, despite its abilities, when a mamba meets a person, it tries in every possible way to avoid contact. She freezes in the hope that they will not notice her and pass by, or she tries to sneak away just as unnoticed. And only with the inevitable meeting does the snake become aggressive.

The mamba can grow up to 3 meters in length and has a deadly poison. In the wild, this African snake feeds on rodents and birds, avoiding people.

If it does bite, the person affected by its venom needs immediate administration of an antidote. Otherwise, he will die.

Classmates

31-year-old blogger Arslan Valeev, author of the BobCat TV and Private Exotarium video channels dedicated to exotic animals, passed away on Monday afternoon. The young man's death was due to a black mamba bite he received during a live broadcast on YouTube on the night of September 23. After this, Arslan was in a coma. Doctors fought for Valeev’s life, but they could not save him.

In addition, information is being spread on the Internet that shortly before his death, Arslan’s mood worsened due to the departure of his wife Catherine. According to some reports, Valeev seemed to be very jealous of her and even beat her the other day, and on the eve of the tragic incident he behaved strangely - he used obscene language and talked about death and pain.

On the eve of the tragic incident, Arslan met a good friend, Marina, with whom he took a puma cub to the hospital. Friends celebrated this event. After Valeev’s friend left, he again got in touch with subscribers. At some point, Valeev walked away from the computer, and then returned, demonstrating a snake bite.

“I’ll just stay with you for a little while. If anything, there is an entry on the phone for Katya. Just reading your messages. Tell Katya that I loved her very much. Bye everyone. I can’t even believe that this is happening to me. This is Katya’s phone number, if she manages to drive up to me and see me, I would be glad. In fact, I'm already dying. Farewell. But I would be glad to see Katya. I’m shaking,” noted the young man.

Valeev's worried spectators could not understand what had happened. After some time, an ambulance was called, and the moderators turned off the chat, saying that Arslan was alive. Throughout this time, the young man’s subscribers watched what was happening live and panicked. Then Ekaterina came to the blogger and turned off this broadcast.

Subscribers' opinions regarding what happened to Arslan vary. Some of them believe that he decided to commit suicide. At the same time, others, on the contrary, believe that Valeev did not plan to take his own life, and his dying speech was not planned and represents the body’s shock reaction to a snake bite. They note that the Internet activist was the victim of an accident. Many of Arslan’s followers urge him not to blame his ex-wife for what happened to him.

Arslan's admirers wish him to rest in peace. Netizens write that they do not believe in the sudden death of the blogger. It seemed that there were no signs of trouble. Valeev seemed to be a purposeful young man who cared about animals with all his heart.

“We remember, we love, we mourn”, “Please take care of yourself”, “Sincere condolences”, “This is creepy. Hurt. I hope his soul is at peace. Sleep well, good friend,” “Like I lost a loved one,” “Very sad,” “Looks like a bad dream,” “His channel gave me so much positivity,” Valeev’s fans discuss.

It became clear that the blogger had separated from Ekaterina in April of this year. Valeev’s followers suspected that difficulties had arisen in his relationship with his wife, and bombarded the young man with questions.

“Why are there so many channels? Where is Katya? Why is that? Why is this? Yes, we separated, it’s simple. And there are no problems with this, just to get rid of unnecessary questions. We’re dividing everything up little by little,” Arslan said a couple of months ago.

Last Thursday, Arslan publicly apologized to his wife. The blogger noted that he behaved unworthily, omitting unflattering statements about his ex-lover. The young man said that he was hurt and lonely.

“There are no justifications for my statements addressed to you personally, I acted basely and stupidly, I am extremely far from the ideal, but you also understand, it’s very difficult for me now, it’s hard to live within the walls in which we wanted to meet old age, it’s hard to see everything that connected with you and is an obligatory part of my lonely (I have no one!) life, it is very difficult to accept the fact that everything is already behind and nothing can be fixed. And I see that everything has definitely passed for you, a new life has begun with someone you have long sympathized with,” the blogger wrote to Ekaterina.

Valeev also said that the girl was a wonderful person whom he undeservedly offended.

“Not a single impartial statement addressed to you personally has any meaning or weight, all this is a lie out of resentment and wild envy, you know this, but not everyone watching understood this. I have apologized to you more than once. He apologized publicly. I also apologize to the public, I am not a robot for cleaning up after animals and generating videos, I am a person with a rather weak character as I am,” Arslan noted.
