KenW Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, Australian media said. He was 44. The guy was over the top but man, I enjoyed his enthusiasm! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060904/ap_on_en_tv/obit_irwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister X Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,20349888-2,00.html It is understood he was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest and reportedly into his heart . Ouch. In an sad twist, it has been reported that his new documentary was aimed at demystifying the stingray. Painfully ironic huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luco Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 It's a national tragedy down here. Well, maybe not, but he'll get a state funeral for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
