It was a documentary. It was supposed to be called something like "The Ocean's Deadliest Creatures". O_o

I guess I always expected him to die doing what he did best: Fucking around with dangerous animals.

He'll be very sorely missed.

According to a news report, they got his death on film, and the police have it. I just hope that someone stupid doesn't get a hold of it and puts it on the internet so it becomes something funny to view to people.

Actually, I´d love to watch the video. Not to make fun or anything, just out of morbid curiosity to see a stingray in action.

How ya doing, buddy?

I couldn't believe it either. Deep down, I think we all expected it to end like this, but never really thought it would happen. I would have thought it would be old age and declining reflexes that would do him in or something, not this.

Farewell, Steve. You'll be missed.

But there are some assholes out there that are glad that he's dead and I'm pretty sure they would enjoy watching something like that. The thought of that truly disgusts me.

The usual Internet pricks start saying "LOLOLOL WE GOTZ TEH TAPE AND HE DIED LIEK A SISSYBOI!!11".

Then people wonder why I don't believe in humanity anymore.

conflicting info,

CNN stated ealier that he came out of the water own his own accord after being stabbed, although not too well. On the boat they immediatly began calling for help, and headed toward tghe nearest medical facilities. Unluckily that was 30 minutes away, and they didn't make it there before he died.

I'm really going to miss Steve; I loved that guy. He seemed such a salt of the earth, honest, and he showed genuine love for his staff, his family and the animals he took care of. The man had such a huge personality that I wonder how Australia Zoo will cope without him. If I ever visited Australia, I wanted to go there and meet him ;_;. Won't ever happen now I guess.

I just heard about this when I got back from my trip. I'm pretty torn about it. I visited the Australia Zoo during my Australia trip this summer, and I didn't get to see him. I saw his wife and daughter though. I figured I'll be coming back to Australia more often, and I'll get another chance to meet the Crocodile Hunter. I won't get this chance anymore. ;_;

Take a look at the clip of him on Celebrity Deathmatch.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1goVQy5mlE

He actually sticks his hand in his chest and says "What a stinger."

Oh the irony.

Meh, he sould ahve expected it. Approcing such dangerous animals is not like in the cartoons; when they bite/sting, it really hurts.

Well, he died doing something he loved... may he RIP

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I heard about his death first thing this morning before going to work. At first I thought I might have been hearing things since I was still sleepy but then they kept saying it. I was very shocked that he died in this manner especiallly by a stingray. My condolences go out to his family, wife, kids, and anyone who was close to him or worked with him on his shows. May God bless his family and may he rest in peace.

As someone who has gone to school in Australia and in International Australian schools in Hong Kong, along with Aussie citizenship, Steve Irwin has been an inspiration to me and my Aussie friends for all our lives, he cares alot about the wild life in Australia along with the ecosystem. He may have his share of celeb tabloid incidents, but all in all he cares and loves Australia and all beings living in it, and it is a sad day to see him go while still trying to help the natural enviroment.

And part of me wish I made a trip to actually see him in person, but I never did...

Farewell Steve, may you continue to inspire us all and rest in peace.

From what I've heard, he actually managed to get back up and onto the ship but by the time help came, it was too late. Truly a one in a million chance of this happening, even with the nature of the stingray's barb taken into account.

Definitely one of those "damn" moments, going out under some of the most unfortunate and bizarre circumstances. This is on the same level as the guy who survived his fight with cancer, only to die of legionnaire's disease soon after.

Ha, when my sister came from work yesterday she mentioned him. Had a hard time understanding who the fuck she was talking about because she said his Spanish name which is different. Really stupid.

KCJ506, yeah, I know what you mean. Though I don´t believe anyone sincerely believes in humanity.

Steve Irwin will never die. In fact, his mere spit is the cure for cancer.

Still, that is pretty sad. But what an incredible way to go. I just couldn't see Steve die from old age--this was probably the best way to go in terms of suiting his lifestyle.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It really sucks how this all came about. I was thinking of his 3 year old son and how he probably doesn't understand the ramifications of what happened to his daddy and why he won't come home any more and that just depresses me to no end

On a side note, I saw on ebay where people are selling Steve Irwin action figures for up to $200-500 bucks now simply on the basis that the man is dead. Am I the only one who finds that almost vulture like and just a tiny bit "ugh", or am I just being an idealistic, romantic twit about the whole thing?

The irony is, while he came out unharmed most of the time facing dangerous animals, he got killed by a peaceful fish.

There's a proverb somewhere, the most skilled swimmer drowns in shallow water. When he's with the really dangerous animals, he's fully alert, whereas he's probably more relaxed around the stingray. I noticed he took less and less risk too as his family grew - saw less of him on TV, etc. And now this

It was completely unexpected - it's really unlikely to be stung by one simply swimming next to it, and what's more, right in the heart....

My dad told me this in the early morning on September 4th. I was really surprised and it still seems surreal.

So when's the marathon tribute? Boy would it be morbid watching his shows for a while, if they're still on and if they're ever back. Steve Irwin won't be back though, and I hope that his family and everyone he new personally gets through this.
