Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin dead

THE Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, is dead.

He was killed in a freak accident in Cairns, police sources said. It is understood he was killed by a sting-ray barb that went through his chest.

He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas filming an underwater documentary and that's when it occured.

Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality this morning at Batt Reef off Port Douglas.

That really sucks, he was entertaining.....but I'm willing to bet money he was harassing the stingray.:rolleyes:

Wow, that does suck! But, yah, he didn't exactly have the safest job in the world. Too bad though.:(

Damn.... That is really sad. He seemed like a real nice guy and loved the animals and his job. I watched his shows a lot.

That's too bad...not just because he's a fellow Aussie, but someone who shared my love of wildlife.
Despite coming across as a bit of a larrikin/dickhead, he had a genuine interest in protecting wildlife, the natural environment, and his "family" appeal means that his message reached many people, young and old, about how to respect nature, and make the world a better place.
I think I'll go visit his zoo sometime soon...
I will never feel right immitating him again.
R.I.P

awwww :( i didn't really watch his tv show but he seemed cool

Steve Irwin was as tough as a bull. And was one of the nicest guys... At least that's how he came across on TV.

It's horrible news. All the great things he has done for animals, that one would kill him.

Very few of us really try and make the world better. But he did his part

RIP Steve
