A boy who died from a snake bite a year ago has been identified as a beloved brother and son as his father is charged with manslaughter for allegedly failing to get him medical help.

Tristian Frahm, 11, died at a Murgon property in Queensland's South Burnett region on November 20, hours after he told his dad a snake had bitten him.

On Tuesday night, police charged his dad Kerrod Frahm, 31, with manslaughter, accusing him of not taking his son's complaint seriously.



Police established Operation Uniform Weft a year ago to investigate Tristian's sudden death, culminating in the dad's charges.

Police have alleged Frahm ignored his son's pleas for help and failed to seek medical attention after Tristian told him a snake had bitten him while visiting a friend's property in Murgon on November 20 last year.

Frahm and Tristian went to bed some time after the boy told him dad about the snake bite, where his condition quickly deteriorated, The Courier Mail reported.

It's understood Tristian got out of bed during the night to be ill before his lifeless body was found outside the next morning near a shed.

Tristian's death devastated his family and was remembered as a 'little hero' and an 'angel' following his tragic death last November.

A shattered relative shared photos and videos of Tristian enjoying life to the fullest ice skating and playing games as she paid a heartbreaking tribute.

'I'm so beyond lost for words and the heart break is unimaginable. I'm still in disbelief,' the relative posted at the time.

'I love you more than I ever thought possible, I'm missing you more and more every minute, there'll be a you-sized hole in my heart forever.'

Frahm will appear in Murgon Magistrates Court on December 6.

Sometimes when our kids complain of such, we shouldn't be too careless to ignore. It's best as a parent or guardian you take the proper precautions first if this kind of situation arises than just look over because they are kids.
