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.

I ditto that. However, that same press that refuses to show people jumping from the World Trade Towers will be like sharks in a feeding frenzy. I am afraid this Lefty press will try to cast this brave heart, Steve Irwin, as something akin to fool hearty. Any video that works for that effort will be used. And that would heap tragedy upon tragedy.
We are very sad. We loved his shows.
One thing that can be definitely said about the Crocodile Hunter - he had showmanship and was a good animal scientist/zoologist/herpotologist - whatever it was.
I had often thought that someday something bad would happen to him, although I hoped it wouldn't, and didn't think it would be deadly.
I guess he died doing what he loved, but just too young.
RIP, Crocodile Hunter.
He tells his camera crew to always be filming. If he needs help, he will ask for it. Even if he is eaten by a shark or croc, the main thing he wants is that it be filmed. If he died, he would be sad if no one got it on tape.
How haunting those words are now.
From up here in farm country, survey says...BZZZZZZTTTTT!!!!
We have some lovely parting gifts for you...
Yeah. Started getting nosebleeds and I didn't like that, lol.
And, where was our annoying poster during that time?

Paradise! Looks exactly like Cane Garden Bay, Tortola, BVI.
HAHAHA,,,That Means Their Smart,,How Ya' Been,,I Hated To Hear Bout' Steve,,RIP,,He Went Doing What He Loved,,So,,
I Guess We Better Not Cry.
I can imagine! I'm putting together a scuba ping list. You want on?
Sure, why not. I'll never be able to go again, but I can dream! I was a neophyte; had just less than 100 dives, 95+.
It is very sad. I didn't know about this, until I saw the very newest thread on it, then noticed this on the sidebar.
RIP, Mate. Crikey!
~~~AMEN~~~
Unfortunately, quite true. Another one who's obit I think we'll be seeing sooner rather than later is Jeff Corwin...anyone else see that show where he climbed up into that tree in Africa to yank down a black mamba??
Then you are added!

Wanted to add a note to all those who play in the water near jellyfish, Man-O-Wars and such whatnot.
Adolph's meat tenderizer is mainly papain, the active ingredient in papayas. So, if you don't have Adolph's, you can get a papaya, cut it open, scoop out the orange flesh and pat that all over any stings you have.
Kind of mash it a little and make a poultice. Whatever's left over, you can use to marinate tough cuts of beef into delectable shish kabob cubes! Mmmmhum.
