According to the report, on October 15, 2025, 11-year-old Tristian Jaemes Frahm suffered extensive internal bleeding due to brown snake envenomation after he was bitten in 2021. The documents reviewed by the publication state that authorities found the boy dead on November 22, 2021, at a property in Murgon, Australia, which was described as a rural town.

According to Coroner Ainslie Kirkegaard, USA Today reported that the boy's father, identified by the publication as Kerrod Frahm, and two other unidentified adults learned that Tristian may have been bitten by a snake after the boy had fallen off a ride-on lawn mower.

The report stated that the three adults checked the boy over for bites, but because they found no obvious puncture marks, and on being told that Tristian had earlier consumed alcohol, they attributed his non-specific symptoms to the effects of alcohol, so they did not seek medical attention for him, per the publication.

In addition to the report, the adults then told the boy to sleep it off and sent him to bed, but after some hours, the boy experienced stomach pain and began vomiting.

The police officers arrived on the property at around 9 a.m. and found Tristian dead. He was found lying on his back beneath a sleeping bag on the ground outside a portable housing unit, and discovered the snake bites that led the boy to his demise.

Kerrod Frahm was charged with manslaughter.

Very bad and extreme cruelty. How can a father be so cruel to his own son? Can he be considered a human being?

He is a cruel father; he saw his son bleeding, he should have checked the source of the bleeding. Hoping his conscience torments him while he's in prison.
