The crazy nature television hosts who swim with sharks, wrestle crocodiles, and pet killer cats like 2 month old puppies are supposed to be invincible to such freak accidents. RIP Mr. Irwin. Your tenacity and yearning to educate and entertain will never be forgotten.
THE Crocodile Man, Steve Irwin, is dead. He was killed in a freak accident in Cairns, police sources said. It appeared that he was killed by a sting-ray barb that went through his chest, Queensland Police Inspector Russell Rhodes said.
He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas filming an underwater documentary and that’s when it occurred.
Crocodile Dundee had nothing on the real crocodile man Steve Irwin [official website].
It stung him because he didn’t give it his baby, like he did with the crocodile. The stringray thought, “I’m gonna show you, Steve!” and stung him in the chest to show him a lesson; perhaps.
awwww thats sad… poor crazy bastard…. RIP Mr. Irwin
Dammmn, I thought he was pretty cool. RIP Steve.
I think I speak for all of us when I say: Nooooooooooooooooooooo!
I loved this guy, my brothers always watch his show, and I can not help but sit and watch him bug a bunch of animals. God bless the man, he died doing what he loved, we’ll miss him. :(
its hit us pretty hard in aus too. entire news shows practically dedicated to the dude. the news spread like wildfire too, i heard from my courier at work today
rest in peace crocodile brother
rest in peace out
that sucks. I know Aussie’s would make fun of the guy for being over the top, but he was a good guy. Trying to help animals, funding zoo’s and educating. We could use few more Steve Irwins in this world and about 2-3 million less selfish greedy assholes who only care about what car they are driving and how much money they make.
good man.
I knew this gonna happen one time..
and it was a damn bad to know and feel..
now it’s even worse.. :(
rest in peace..
He was real kickass. This sucks.
Rest in peace.
I saw the Yahoo headline yesterday & expected to see he died tripping down a few stairs in his house or something. Irony w/ all the crocs and snakes…
Wonder if it’s time for the South Park episode then?
man that sucks that steve died i hope his family is okay even though i dont know him but i loved him because he was the coolest guy on t.v . i looked up to steve because he was my model. i wanted to become a marine biologist but after this i dont think i would ever touch an underwater animal. i will NEVER EVER go to the beach. R.I.P Steve im sorry terry steve Jr and the little gurl im realy sorry guys
aww man cant believe it… i used to watch The crocodile hunter on animal planet SOOOOOO much when i was a kid… i loved the way he was explainin everything .. rest in peace steve
To his family and friends this was a horrific day, but out of that horror came a man that you should all be proud of. For what he has done. The whole world thanks him, I thank him and i thank his parents for bringing this passionate man into the world, he showed us that the animals in this world deserve our help.
Thanks steve for doing what you did. Terry im so sorry that this has happened to your family but he was doing what he did best and i know, that that would be the way i would want to go doing what i loved to do……..R.I.P Steve (CRIKEY!)

i think he went too far beyond the limit..
RIP Mr. Irwin
so sad, there’s no crocodile in heaven. you gonna missed your job.

Steve my man……I would have never thought a Stingray would have deep six you. My bet would have been on a crocodile. RIP in Crocodile Hunter.
I love this guy i am sad now that he’s gone i try to not think about but whenever i turn on the t.v. to like the animal planet there he is but yeah i think he’s great and i feel real bad for his family. I love you Steve Irwin. RIP. Steve Irwin….Im gunna kill that stingray…at least i wish he was dead…..luv ya
Is his widow dating yet ? I’d love to shag her
I’m sorry to hear that . The news of your death was a terrible shock to me .
Mr.irwin “You are our hero”
Rest in peace…
So who is really surprized? The guy was nuts and all of his so called ‘mates’ should have told him so a long time ago but they were too busy making money off this mentally ill person. I have lived near the ocean all my life and everyone here knows that sting rays deliver a mean and painful strike. An 8 foot ray is certainly able to kill a man.
Waltzing Matilda
That beautiful song was Australia to me
before “Crocodile Hunter” aired on TV
He was crazy, brash, exuberant and fun
I never saw another do what he’d done
A pioneer in his field, a man with fight
he brought a gorgeous Australia to sight
So full of dedication, enthusiasm and grit
for the sanctity of wildlife–his passion was lit
For the land and the animals his purpose was filled
yet I think too soon his bright, helping spirit was stilled
He cried for that which moved him and all that he loved
for the critters, his family on earth and his mother above
When I think of his passing I can scarce breathe
while I pray for his loved ones, as the world grieves
As tears fill my eyes so that I can not see
would someone play “Waltzing Matilda” for me
…Thank you Steve Irwin, and family…

Some of you are so disrespectful!!!!
This man did what he did because he knew these animals so well and was doing it for such a long time. He knew the dangers and even made comments in interviews that if he would ever die, he would want it on tape. He knew there would be a possiblility because animals can be unpredictable and if they feel the least bit intimidated that they could strike and kill someone. He knew the croc better than any animal and that was why he felt that he could have his child in his arms while being around them. He knew what to expect with them and that is why it wasn’t a croc and it was a stingray. Heck, it could have been any other animal, but I feel that he knew what he was up against when it came to crocs.
Please have a little more respect for the dead.
I am so sorry for the Family of Steve Irwin,It is a sad event.
I am always scared while watching his documentaries but I thot he knows best around the animals.I knew that one day a thing like this may occur but never thot death.RIP
