Snakes do not bite if they are dead, however, if the snake is poisonous, it's venom stays for sometime along with teeth and accidental scratch may lead to problems.

You mean snakes still can lunge and bite something even though they are dead? News to me...
Well, in any case, it could be because of a post-death reaction. It could also just be dumb luck, as even in death, a snake should still have its venom and fangs.

Post-mortem reflex. Some animals and creatures have it for days after they die. Cockroaches can survive for weeks without their heads.
