The blogger later repented and on 21 September publicly apologised to her for his behaviour

During his public apology, Valeev claimed their sexual relationship had ended in July

Valeev initially went off camera and a muffled “ouch” can be heard as the deadly snake bit him.
The actual snake bite and moment of death were not shown, but the blogger – a former zoo employee – allowed viewers to see the bite on his hand.
At the end of the footage, he got up from his chair and staggered off camera, possibly towards a bathroom. He died soon afterwards.
In the shocking live stream, he said: “If I die, then I die… I just will stay with you for some time. Just in case – on my mobile there is a message for Katya…”
Before adding: “I just will stay with you for some time. Just in case – on my mobile there is a message for Katya…”
His breathing quickens, and his eyes started rolling, before his muscles appeared to become numb.

A day before he live streamed his death, Valeev announced a special broadcast of his beloved snake, Mamba

In the disturbing video, the former zoo employee allowed viewers to see the bite on his hand

While his breathing quickened he read out Katya’s number pleading for viewers to call her

His eyes began to roll backwards as he appeared to fall unconscious

“Pass on to Katya that I loved her very much,” he said, showing his bitten finger with blood on it.
“Beautiful, isn’t it? Oh, damn, how it… Bye to everyone… I can’t believe it is happening to me…”
He then read out his former wife’s mobile number, before adding: “I’m already dying. Farewell. I would be glad to see Katya. Damn, I’m shaking.”
He and Katya were famous for running YouTube channels BobCat TV (about felines) and Exotarium (about snakes) with hundreds of thousands of followers.

Katya has not spoken out about the distressing video

After the distressing stream, Arslan reportedly stumbled into the street seeking help

One hospital viewer called an ambulance for him, but medics were unable to save his life

Describing his heartache, Valeev said miracles do not happen but the feeling of emptiness can pass with time

Valeev claimed he and Katya had drifted apart long before July

Friends said on 4 August he had accused her of cheating on him.

Valeev beat her and she suffered concussion, it was reported.

He later repented and on 21 September publicly apologised to her for his behaviour, saying that their sexual relationship had ended in July.

Valeev did take a sly swipe at his former wife, he appeared to order her to laugh at him

Valeev’s death comes hours after a snake lover, who died close to his pet python, was suffocated to death.
Cops initially confirmed Dan Brandon’s body had suffered “serious injuries”.
Black mambas are known for their highly aggressive nature and lethal venom.Widely considered the world’s deadliest snake, they can grow up to 14ft, weighing less than four lbs.
The shy serpents will repeatedly strike if threatened.
