Steve Irwin (or as many of you know him, the Crocodile Hunter) Known for his famous exclamation 'Crikey!' has died in a freak accident in Cairnes Australia
He was actually killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest. QUOTE He was killed in a freak accident in Cairns, police sources said. It is understood he was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest. He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas filming an underwater documentary when the tragedy occured. Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality this morning at Batt Reef off Port Douglas. Irwin's body is being flown to Cairns. It is believed Mr Irwin's American-born wife Terri is trekking on Cradle Mountain in Tasmania and is yet to be told of her husband's death.

My friend's daughter will be sad to hear this story. She idolized Steve and for his famous TV programs, she wanted to become a veterinarian.
It is a sad day for animal lovers and a planet which is striving so hard to promote kinder, gentler appeal towards all living creatures. I will miss Steve... I hope Terri would find some comfort. |

I'm an Australian and when i heard the news it struck like lightning in all of us at school. IT will be a sad country without the old CRikey from the television. His wife is bieng flown to Brisbane and is in massive shock, I wonder how his poor kids are coping. These are some terrible times we are living in at this moment.
Steve IRwin May You Always be in our hearts. RIP you were born in a world which you loved and you died doing the thing you loved. May Gods Graceful Hands LIft You Into The Most HIgh Of Heaven. RIP good friend you will always be in our hearts. |

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) -- Crocodile hunter Steve Irwin took his month-old son to his first croc feeding on Friday, offering the reptile a chicken with one hand and holding the baby in the other. With a capacity crowd looking on, Irwin dangled a dead chicken before the 13-foot crocodile named Murray, which snapped up the offering. Irwin's tiny son Bob looked on from his other arm. "He's one-month-old, so it's about time Bob got out there and did his first croc demo," the Australian celebrity told the crowd at his Australian Zoo.  thats as bad a michael jackson holding his son over a ledge....(yes i was wrong earlyer, it was MJ) This post has been edited by Albus Dumbledore: Sep 4 2006, 08:24 AM |

Albus, don't you have one bit of sympathy in you, his kids are going to be growing up not knowing who there father really was. S o please show some respect. He was a good and kind man. I met him he was great showed me alot of things. And Just because he took His kid within feet of a crocodile isntr dangerous he knew what he was doing.
Man Michael Jackson hung his baby of a frikin balcony. So Plaease just Show some respect. |

All i have to say holy (you know what), talk about the odd's. Whats weird is that even though i don't know the whole story besides the final outcome is that you have to provoke just enough for them to attack you.
OF course it's going to even harding on the kids especially his son who will only remember him by picutres and video's. He will be sorely missed by everyone across the world. |

It really is a shame. Whilst his programs were over the top, and he just fed the American held stereotype of Australians, there was no doubt he was a conservationist at heart. He had a passion for what he did (which was evident throughout his shows and movies), and most definitely made a difference in the world in the way of saving the animals. Condolences to his family, though I believe his daughter already has a headstart in the industry (anyone seen the Australia Zoo ads?) and hopefully will continue her father's legacy.
