Yeah that sucks, they said there have only been 3 cases ever of this reported in Austrailia, and only 17 cases reported worldwide...freak thing.
RIP
-ps like Jivver said it had nothing to do with his appearance but "he made nature fun for loads of kids"
Best of luck to his wife and child left behind

Wow, I for one didnt expect this at all. Considering how many people have a similar job, and he being the most famous I assumed he would have a whole convoy of people keeping shit like this from happening. I never knew that he was in any real danger when I saw him on tv.

You honestly believe his enthusiasm and character is "put on" for the camera?
He has done more for australian wildlife than you could ever imagine, have you even been to his "Australian Zoo" which he did still work at on occasion.
Sure he did a shit movie and a few gay ads but i guarantee it was to support and fund his passion of helping the australian wildlife.
I dont think i have ever seen anyone love LIFE as much as him....
I feel very sory for his wife and both his kids, especially the one who was with him at the time (8 yr old daughter)
RIP steve.

He seemed a good, genuine, man who cared so much about life and what it had to offer. He experienced more in 44 years than most people would experience in 440 years of their 9-5 lives. He will be missed but he did make a difference while he was here.

Man he must have been terribly disappointed to be taken out by a stingray, after all the ferocious predators he manhandled. :(
From what I've read these creatures, though dangerous, are non-aggressive.
Most impressive and insane was when he dove in croc waters in the middle of the night because he thought he spotted one under water, and he came up with one too.

Yeah I do believe it was put on for the camera, and now people like wolfslice think of people like steve as a typical aussie as a result of his act. We all know everyone in australia is like Dame Edna.

Yeah but a loveable tit.
Any bets that they got his death on tape? Think it'll hit the net? I'm not watching it for 'shock value', I'm seriously curious to how it all happened. Stingrays aren't aggressive.

Hell, I thought that he'd simply been stung and pumped so full of poison he'd just died, but it looks like the big fuckerr actually stuck it's barrbed sting into his chest like a harrpoon.

thinking about it, that's what probably killed him instantly - should have left it in and let the medics sort him out.

I don't think so, no. more kind of abrassive, annoying.
his programmes used to bore me to tears.
he didn't have to die, you know, but it doesn't affect me.

evils : He should have left it in?! HAHAHA! Fuck dude, if your UNDERWATER and a STRINGRAY drills through your chest into your HEART with it's TOXIC BARB, "Get it off of me" is probably the first thing that comes to mind.
I use to tape the Crocodile hunter! I loved that show, Steve Irwin kicked ass! His wife is actually really cool too, it was always funny watching the 2 on television!
I thought the show was great, and the guy was always really entertaining! And all the good stuff he did with his cash, I think the guy deserves tons of respect!
