He was killed in a freak accident in Cairns, police sources said. It is understood he was killed by a sting-ray barb that went through his chest.
He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas filming an underwater documentary and that's when it occured.

Well I grew up by watching Wild America and the National Geographic specials with my dad and I can say while they are informative they do very little to attract your attention.

Yes, my grandson loved his show & it was always a show that a family could sit down & watch together. Also, the interaction between him, his wife & kids showed a loving family atmosphere.

You must be a barrel of laughs at a party or any other kind of gathering. Hope I'm never at one of them.

I used to watch Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, Steve made the re little show look very very boring in comparison, now we just have that boring and leftist Jeff Corwin to watch now.

I don't know if he was a conservative, but he did seem to respect the soldiers he was with on the Eglin AFB program he made. His task was to clear out the snakes from an area where training was going to take place, so that neither man nor snake would be a problem to each other. He was extremely excited about the fighter jet they showed him. Then again, he seemed extremely excited about life in general. Rather wearing to live with, perhaps, but nice to see. He and his exuberance will be missed.

Do you know what the recommend action a person should take when in your situation? Is trying to put distance between the two of you a good idea or is it best just to stay still?
To: lunarbicep
Oh no! How tragic. Prayers for Steve's family and associates. He seemed to be a great guy.
