i understand protecting someone's good name, but the story is just so full of holes....

1. rattlesnake bites are extremely painful, you don't just take a nap when you get bit that's strong enough to kill you
2. in order to believe the story, you have to believe that the "friend" allowed a guy bit by his own pet to take a nap and NOT force him to get medical attention for a potentially fatal bite that he obvious knew was potentially fatal since it was HIS PET.

That being said, RIP Billy Glide, his demons got the better of him, but he was still a good person and someone that I will miss seeing around.
