"Fatal Bite: Pet Gila Monster Kills Lakewood Man"

A 34-year-old man in Lakewood died after being bitten by his pet Gila monster, a venomous lizard. Despite the rarity of Gila monster bites causing death in humans, the man did not survive his injuries. Authorities removed the two Gila monsters from the man's home, as it is illegal to own them in Lakewood, and they have been taken to a wildlife rehabilitation facility.
