Electrician finds dead snake in malfunctioning PlayStation 4

BRAGANCA PAULISTA, Brazil, May 27 (UPI) -- An electrician in Brazil opened up a malfunctioning PlayStation 4 and made a shocking discovery -- a dead snake.

The electrician in Braganca Paulista said a customer reported the video game console "turned on and then off, and it released a strong smell."

The repair worker said he suspected an electrical failure, strike or peak was to blame for the PS4's problems, but he soon suspected otherwise when he caught a whiff of the odor reported by the customer.

The man opened up the console and immediately diagnosed the problem -- a dead snake.
