Steve Irwin is Dead.
Steve Irwin is Dead.
His sharp up front docu-filming of wildlife finally caught up with Steve in a terrible freak accident when he was killed by a sting-ray.

As much as I sometimes found him irritating and over the top, I had to admire his presentation.
A sad loss.

Crikey!
A real bit of bad luck there. Given that a large proportion of Australian fauna is positively gagging to inflict injury and death on the human race the poor bloke gets topped by a creature which has only been responsible for one previously reported death.
There's probably a greater chance of being killed by a falling koala.

it is sad and a great loss to the conservation of aussie wildlife.
but....
as far as i am aware, he must have done something to annoy the stingray for it to sting him.
he also endorsed john howard. duh.

I thought his vitality of putting over the necessity of preservation of nature a brilliant way for kids. I was shocked to see his death on AOL - aparently it is all on film.
I will miss him - but no doubt the Austrailian Zoo and his family (his kiddies were SO sweet) will miss him more...
A sad day for animal protectors.
I would prefer to remember him with taste rather by a jpg.. It's all so sordid these days - pop your clogs and some one has been waiting all year to use that gag on you.....
