R.I.P Steve Irwin 1962 - 2006 :(

That is all. :( Great guy, can't believe it. It's ironic in a (sad) way though since he once said, "If something ever happens to me, people are gonna be like 'we knew a croc would get him!'" and yet it was one of the more docile animals that killed him....

I caught them saying on This Morning earlier about some freak accident involving a stingray and wondered who they were talking about. When I saw the news at noon, my jaw just fell open - I didn't expect it to be him.


RIP Steve ♥

I know, I can't believe it either. It's something you always think "Man, he is going to be killed doing this kinda work..." but you NEVER believe it. And the fact that it's a stingray and not a crocodile or even poison snake... just crazy. :(

RIP Steve.

Yeah that's the irony; he could have been killed so easily by something like a croc and it was a small stingray instead....I would watch repeats of his programme The Crocodile Hunter Diaries and marvel at how he was able to get so close to those things & always walk away unharmed, but I think that was what made him different to others in his profession.
