EDIT: His wife dosen't know yet. :(

Oh man. It was so much fun to make fun of that guy. I can't believe he's dead.

-At first I thought it said "Driving Accident", which would have put a massive layer of irony on the whole thing.

Goodbye, old friend.

At least he didn't get killed by a croc or snake. Then his main point to all his work would be discredited to many people.

:( I guess he's been one step ahead for ages, but it seems so weird .. cuz I've always thought of him as that guy that almost gets mauled by an animal but never does.

I've heard that he drugged the animals on his show which is why he was "one step ahead." CAN'T DRUG SEACRITTERS AS WELL, EH, AUSSY?

By a stingray? I never thought they could kill you.

2006-09-03, 11:57 PM #23
It usually doesn't but if you take it in the heart it has a better chance.

If I were a mean person, I'd post a stingray and a croc highfiving, or the croc giving the stingray 5 bucks,

Oh, or a lion kniting a stingray,

Were I a mean person.

[Note: Famous people get made fun of. Death is a serious issue. Etc.]

Otherwise, I do feel really bad. This was out of the blue, really. You always just assumed he COULDN'T die.

I wish you were a mean person.
Though that could end with banning.

And yes, death very tragic etc. Sucks for all his fans and his family.

I've been surprised at the number of posts on other boards saying stuff like "I'd like to stab that stupid stingray through the face," makes it seem like few people really got his message :(
2006-09-04, 2:49 AM #30
thrawn, it is better to think that it is the same people posting that message on a number of different boards rather than every post being a different person.

At first I thought this might have been a hoax, but it does not appear to be so...

Media statement – 4 September 2006

Steve Irwin

At 11am today, the 4th September 2006, Steve Irwin was fatally wounded by a stingray barb to his heart whilst filming a sequence on Batt Reef off Port Douglas for his daughter’s new TV series.
Emergency services were called from Cairns Rescue Base and met Croc One, Steve’s rescue vessel at Low Isle on the Great Barrier Reef.
The Croc One crew performed constant CPR during the thirty minute dash to Low Isle, but the medical staff pronounced Steve dead at approx. 12 noon.

His producer and closest friend, John Stainton said on Croc One today,
“The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest Dads on the planet. He died doing what he loves best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind. Crocs Rule!”


That is from his official website; http://www.crocodilehunter.com/


I suppose most of us saw this coming, but its still very sad. :(
And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

His official website is down, probably due to so much traffic.
