Irma Bule, an Indonesian singer, died on Sunday, April 3, during her performance in West Java.
Bule, real name Irmawati, was bitten by a king cobra, refused an antidote from the snake's handler and continued to perform for 45 more minutes. She later collapsed, went into convulsions and died at a hospital.

According to TIME, snakes are regularly used as props by Indonesian singers because their performance fee will increase from $20 to $25.
The reptiles the 26-year old mother of three normally uses during her act are nonvenomous pythons that have their mouths duct-taped shut, but somehow those precautions weren't taken and Irma ended up being handed a venomous cobra.
"Why do you think she's getting Donkey of the Day? Because her dumb ass got bitten by a king cobra and didn't go to the hospital immediately," Charlamagne Tha God said on Power 105.1 on Friday, April 8th.
You can watch the video of Irma onstage at the time she was bitten and Charlamagne's response below.
