Title: The Crocodile Hunter died
Post by: Aero on September 04, 2006, 07:23:07 AM
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.

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...

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.

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.
Title: Re:The Crocodile Hunter died
Post by: Aero on September 04, 2006, 07:40:41 PM
I know. Only two people have died from stingrays, so he wasn't expecting to die. Stung maybe but not die.

Post by: MasterKeyX on September 05, 2006, 11:32:31 AM
on the news, it said he was stung throught the heart
Title: Re:The Crocodile Hunter died
Post by: Darth Wyndisis on September 05, 2006, 12:08:39 PM
It's almost like a freak accident.  The chances of a spine going through someone's ribcage and into the heart seem slim.
Title: Re:The Crocodile Hunter died
Post by: Nabooru on September 05, 2006, 12:10:45 PM
Well he probably went down the way he wanted to, doing his job w/ the animals.
Title: Re:The Crocodile Hunter died
Post by: Darth Wyndisis on September 05, 2006, 12:16:22 PM
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.
Title: Re:The Crocodile Hunter died
Post by: alical on September 05, 2006, 12:30:27 PM
Really? I think he would rather die at the hands of something he loved than a disease or something...
Title: Re:The Crocodile Hunter died
Post by: Darth Wyndisis on September 05, 2006, 12:44:06 PM
But getting stabbed by a stingray is just... bizarre.  And remember, the dude had family.
Title: Re:The Crocodile Hunter died
Post by: MasterKeyX on September 05, 2006, 12:49:42 PM
yes, a wife and some chilkdren. I fell bad for the family
Title: Re:The Crocodile Hunter died
Post by: Pale Dim on September 05, 2006, 02:19:40 PM
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 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.

Post by: alical on September 06, 2006, 11:35:41 AM
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.

Letsa justa hopa itsa wasn'ta painfulla.
Title: Re:The Crocodile Hunter died
Post by: Aero on September 09, 2006, 10:32:35 PM
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.  :(
Title: Re:The Crocodile Hunter died
Post by: Zelda Veteran on September 09, 2006, 10:38:28 PM
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 heard that the Sting ray just did that by it's own will.
