I just heard that the Crocodile Hunter died due to a sting ray barb that pirced his heart. I used to watch his show all the time. (I like animal planet.) It feels like your faverite actor died, you know? Rest in peace Steve Irwin. Here's the link to the story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14663786/?GT1=8506 (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14663786/?GT1=8506)
Yeah, I just got done reading about that. It kind of sucks. Rest in peace.
I heard it on the news about an hour ago. Big bummer. :'(
Poor guy,mayhe rest in peace. :'(
Nooooo. :'( may he rest in peace.
poor guy. :(
I used to watch that show. But it seems he had it coming with all those snake bites he got and how he always made those gators mad...
dont forget that acacia tree :( X 256
rest in peace
Well, it was bound to happen. He's been bitten by Crocs, crawled on by spiders, etc., and now stung by a sting ray. Right between the ribs, too. That's gotta hurt. You shoulda seen how sad my sister was. It's heart breaking, I know. Sigh. But, like I said, it was bound to happen.
He rocked. He was a kinda idol of mine. He was so brave and he helped amimals mostly.
He died doing what he loved :'(
Yeah, I just saw it on the news this morning. Thats sad, he had a wife and kids at home. I always knew he would die. You dont mess with nature. Man VS Nature. Nature will always win. Although he put up the best fight with nature ive ever seen, He was bound to get killed on the job. He was the guy that defied the impossible. He was truly an expert at what he did, and he taught the world a whole lot with his shows, and I hope he was happy when he died. Rest in peace Steve Irwin. Oh and Dragon lord dont ever do that again, and I think its against the rules. Ill check with jack, and get back to you on it.
Sorry scratch my last sentence, he died in a car on the way to the hospital, not really what he loved.
The wound was in an unfortunate position, he is only the 2nd person to ever die from that type of stingrays sting.
Poor guy, requiesat in pace.
(As to smiley spam, not officially against the rules, but definitely frowned upon, please avoid in the future dragon lord).
I read that on yahoo at like two last night...that is so sad RIP.
This is the second suprise death, I've gotten. It's so sad. :( I can't believe his kids don't have a dad and his wife doesn't have a husband anymore. I would hate to be in their shoes.
(As for the 1st one, it was my friend, Andrew Kuhn who died of a collapsed lung in an automobile accident. :'( )
With the job that he does, you're bound to make a mistake sooner or later. Unforunately, it was sooner. Dying while doing something you love...There's got to be some kind of irony in that.
you think he woulda died by like a crock or a snake or something... a sting ray? yeah, stevie was a good guy.
Yeah, it's a sad thing, indeed. I heard it this afternoon.
Rest in peace, Steve Irwin.
Well,he shouldn't have bothered it... :-\
He was just doing his job.
I know. Only two people have died from stingrays, so he wasn't expecting to die. Stung maybe but not die.
on the news, it said he was stung throught the heart
It's almost like a freak accident. The chances of a spine going through someone's ribcage and into the heart seem slim.
Well he probably went down the way he wanted to, doing his job w/ the animals.
Well, I don't suppose he planned to die in such a way, but he probably didn't mind. If I were him I would much rather die of a heart attack or something.
Really? I think he would rather die at the hands of something he loved than a disease or something...
But getting stabbed by a stingray is just... bizarre. And remember, the dude had family.
yes, a wife and some chilkdren. I fell bad for the family
Chilkdren? Anyway, my dad said that he wasn't surprised. But then again, he said the same thing I did a little while ago.
Yeah, steve had children, and keep your eyes on the TV, they are going to show the footage. In his Will, Steve clearly, and sternly said that if he were to die in the line of duty, then he wanted the tape exposed to the public. If you miss it on TV, head over to youtube, people are sure to record it and submit it there.

I know everyone has atlest saw his show once, and even worse, he had a wife and 2 kids
I got his address, if anyone's interested in mailing a letter to his family. I bet his family's kinda stressed and sad. So here you go:
The Steve Irwin Family
Australia Zoo
Glasshouse Mountains Tourist Rte
Beerwah QLD 4519
AUSTRALIA
Or something like that.
Yeah, his family have refused a huge funeral service from the Australian government because they say its not what Steve would have wanted.
Well, then, he must have wanted to be creamated.
maybe he was aprivate man when it came to matter such as this.
theres loads of tributes on newgrounds.com
he said that if he died that way, he wanted them to keep rolling, so like they did. im sure it will be allll over the internet in a week or so... if, ya know they ok it with his wife.
I don't think she'll allow it without bursting into tears. :-*
yeah, and i feel bad for the kid the most. She has no father.
Oh, man, I didn't even think about them! The pour soul(s)!
i believe there only one kid, im not sure thoguh.
he died happy. he was doing what he loved and never had time to think 'o im gonna die'.
Letsa justa hopa itsa wasn'ta painfulla.
I think it was. The stingray's barb looked like a spear-head. By I guess the pain only lasted for a second before he got knocked out and died. :(
Its so sad to see a legend die. He'll live on in our hearts, until the later yeas, when fact turns to fable. He'll always be there i heaven to greet us at the gates. I await the day i meet Steve's spirit. 8)
I feel sorry for his family (and of course himself)....
R.I.P. Steve Irwin.
I heard that the Sting ray just did that by it's own will.
