He is DEAD!

Famous croc hunter Steve Irwin(aus and usa should know him well)
HAS DIED!:shock:

Killed by a stingray during a film documentation.:shock:

The stingray struck him in the chest/heart and scientist are shocked to find a fatality like this from a stingray!

God dam, this is so sudden and strange...:?

its like hearing about Jim Carry die from a wild boar attack :shock:

But him dying is weird, since he hes been handling animals all hes life and with all the snake bites hes had..
god...what do you think people?

Given some of the insane stuff that guy has done, I'm suprised it didn't happen years ago.

You can only play with fire so long before you eventually get burned...

I've always hated stingrays, this just fueled my spite.

A friend of mine, Justin Dreese, died yesterday in Iraq as well as Steve Irwin dying. :cry:

It feels like one of those alternate world type deals, where everything is just the opposite of what it's supposed to be...

It still doesn't seem right, though, like it didnt happen, or can't happen, like he wasn't supposed to die at 44 or my friend so early as 20...

I have had many freak accidents happen to me as well, or many horrible ones that I have heard of too, but this one is still registering in my mind.

Im not surprised at all that he died, it was just a matter of time.... :(

i also heard that before he died, he pulled out the barb(sting ray spike/stinger) from hes heart, that thing is bloody serrated, but of sliced hes insides and chewed up hes heart. :shock:

It depends where it hit him. Must have slipped through the Sturnum and Ribcage. Bastard.

For awhile, a week, actually, I was really depressed about this. Steve was, and still is, a personal hero to me. He was so enthusiastic, so loving to his animals. He was a conservationist, and family man. It was like I knew him, yet never met him, yet I always wanted to take a trip to Australia and meet him. He always seemed like a great man, a famous guy who is at the same level of the common folk. I feel stupid, though, I feel like an over-emotional jackass. I had tears rolling down my eyes the second day of his death, I was shocked and I was severley despressed. I can't imagine how his wife and kids are.

And for the record, that man could NEVER be killed by a croc, he knows them all to well. He was truely a master Croc handler. He has been bitten, mauled, gored, and so on, and he still loves his animals, a true hero. My condolences go out to his family.

Rest and Peace Steve, you will truely be missed.

I'll see you again, mate.

Meh.

I bet his last words were, "She's a beauty, ain't she?"

Meh. His last words were more likely on the line of "Bubble Bubble Bubble." Maybe his last thought.
