He died what he loved doing. He was like an ambassador for australia, everyone will find this sad and he definately will be missed.

Me and my son loved watching his programmes. He was one crazy dude.

I suppose thinking about it it's not too much of a surprise but somehow you always expect nutters like that to not get killed like this. I know thats a backward statement

apparently the stingray that killed him isnt known for actually attackin humans or even killin them, kinda strange that he chases crocs and snakes and spiders and then gets killed by somethin that aint known for killin ppl IMO.

Lets be honest this is Steve Irwin we are talking about. He was probably prodding/poking it or something

I read he was filming a documentary on The Worlds Most Lethal Animals or something.
Fucking Ray cheapshotted him in the heart.

I realize that "if you play with fire you're gonna get burned" but still it is a tragic loss IMO.

RIP Steve.

He was swimming above it and he was hit in the heart with the spur. Being the tough aussie he was, in his last moment he pulled the spur out and then died
