Troy Day Well, not real sure. I suppose it’s possible that the Cody Coots story was a fabrication by attention seekers, but even if it is, it’s still a spin-off of what appears to be a real story of his father dying from a snake bite. This story was covered in 2014 by ABC, so I guess the Cody Coots story could just be people making that part up. Either way, at least at one point in time they WERE playing with rattlesnakes in church and something bad happened…..
