"Steve Irwin (pictured), star of the television show The Crocodile Hunter, is killed by a stingray while filming an underwater documentary off the coast of Australia."
haha,There was already a thread about this.. but I am soooo saddened by this. I mean the guy had children!
well i just woke up! he was supposed to be killed by a croc, not a stingray it's kind of weird to be upset by this because the guy (even though an expert) pretty much had it coming, and you had to love to hate him for this but yeah, 2 kids, 8 and 2, and he was filming this (also for a doc.) as a segment to be hosted by his 8 year old jesus
"had it coming" it was actually a freak accident, stingrays don't normally kill people it was only because it was a direct hit to his heart (causing a literal hole in his heart) that he died
that was a bit of humor mate i wasn't referring to what actually killed him the dude fucked around with crocodiles, that shit's crazy enough
Alot of people in my family call my dad the crocodile hunter, cuz he reminds them of Steve Irwin. One time he ran off the road and chased a bunch of deer across this field in my grandparents' GMC Safari when I was about three years old... my aunt, grandparents, a cousin, my mom, and myself were in the van when it occured. And... there was another incident involving a Copperhead and a bag of seed corn, when we lived on our farm.
The guy did a lot for protecting the wild animals of his area of the world. Did tons of volunteer work for kids with handicaps and the poor too. Had two kids and a wife that he left behind. It was a freak accident and no he did not had it coming!!
i think its well sad ... he had such good energy and enthusiasm in everything he did ... and he did so many good things in his life .. ... .. my heart goes out to his family and friends xxx
It was an occupational risk. He took risks for a living, and I imagine that's how he'd want to go... not that he was wanting to die right now, but better that than dying alone in a nursing home at 97. Sometimes it's the quality of life, not the quantity.
I miss him. His energy was amazing. It would get me pepped up to go out and conquer the world. At least you could say he died doing what he loved. Though, how much you want to bet, they will release the documentary anyways? Now THAT would be cold-hearted.
