There are a number of different ways to answer this question as there is no definitive answer. However we can look at a few different bits of evidence to try and piece together an answer.
First let’s look at the history of snake island. The island is located off the coast of Brazil and is home to the largest concentration of venomous snakes in the world. It is thought that the snakes arrived on the island via shipwrecks as the island is located near a busy shipping route.
Since the snakes arrived on the island there have been a number of reports of people dying from snake bites. However it is difficult to verify these reports as there is no official record of anyone dying on the island.
There have also been a number of scientific expeditions to the island and there have been no reports of any deaths during these expeditions. However it is possible that someone could have been bitten by a snake and died before they had a chance to report it.
So based on the available evidence it is difficult to say for certain whether anyone has died from a snake bite on snake island. However it is certainly possible that someone has been killed by these snakes.
