A popstar carried on performing for 45 minutes despite being bitten by a cobra, before collapsing and dying on stage. 
This distressing video shows the moment Irma Bule, 29, was attacked mid-performance in the village of Karawang, West Java, by the venomous snake.
The Indonesian singer was well-known for using reptiles in her acts and thought the king cobra, called Rianti, had been de-fanged.
But when the snake bit her thigh, it injected venom into her bloodstream until a snake handler pulled it away.
The popstar carried on singing for 45 minutes, but began vomiting and having seizures.
She was later confirmed dead in hospital.
Ferlando Octavion Auzura, who was in the audience, told a local website: 'In the middle of the second song, Irma stepped on the snake's tail. The snake then bit Irma in her thigh.' 
The singer, who had also used boa constrictors and pythons in previous acts, refused the offer of an antidote, according to reports.
Police say they are investigating the incident and have asked people in the audience for information.
Irma’s mother Encum said that her daughter had always used a python but this time a cobra was provided by the show’s organisers.
Usually the pythons her daughter performed with had their jaws taped together for extra security, even though they were not toxic, she told Indonesian news site Si Momot.
‘My daughter might not have known that the snake that was given to her for the show was a dangerous cobra.
'She was told she could wear it, even though its mouth was not closed with duct tape,' said the entertainer's mother.
The website said that Irma danced to organ music and during her first song the snake was around her neck. When the song finished she put the reptile into a sack.
She then started singing more songs, but the snake came out of the sack and bit her on the thigh.
‘Despite the snake bite, Irma did not react and continued singing,’ said the website.
Later, backstage, she joked with her friends that she felt no pain from the bite, but during the banter she suddenly collapsed and lapsed into unconsciousness. 
Encum, said her daughter had been using a snake as part of her singing act for the past three years, adding: 'They were her trademark.'
She told how Irma had started singing and dancing since she graduated from high school, when her art teacher had suggested she go on stage after hearing her sing.
She became popular in the Karawang and Purwakarta districts.
'I don't know what started her off using a snake, but she would wrap it around her neck while dancing and sometimes she would wrap it around the music player,' said Encum.
Tragically, Irma has left three young children: Flowers, eight, Rose, six and Kiran, four.
Her husband works at a factory.
Encum said her daughter was fairly shy and rarely went out when she wasn't performing. She did, however, have a number of friends who admired her.
'She was really a lonely female figure,' said her mother, recalling that Irma ran a separate business selling shoes and clothes for other stage performers.
'She didn't use a snake for every performance, perhaps two or more times a month,' said Encum. 'But there were times when she used as snake almost every day.
'I and her family are still trying to find out exactly what went wrong for our youngest child to die like this. We are waiting for the organisers of the show to tell us.'
King cobras can grow up to 18 feet and are found in India, Southeast Asia and southern China.
They are one of the deadliest snakes on the planet, with the amount of toxins released in a single bite enough to kill an elephant, or 20 people.
But the beasts are shy so usually avoid humans.
