OXFORD -- News 13 has confirmed that a 2-year-old girl is dead after being suffocated by a python.

Shaiunna Hare died in her home in Oxford, just off of County Road 466, east of The Villages.

The snake was a 12-foot long albino Burmese python and was a pet of the family.

According to Lt. Joy Hill with Florida Fish and Wildlife, Charles Darnell, the boyfriend of the child's mother, Jaren Hare, put the python away in an aquarium and when he woke up around 9 a.m., he found the aquarium was empty. He ran to Shaiunna's bedroom and found the snake on top of the her.
