R.I.P The Crocodile Hunter

[ZahoOL]

Television star Steve Irwin has been killed while filming an underwater documentary in Queensland.


The 44-year-old, who was dubbed 'The Crocodile Hunter', was killed by a stingray barb through the chest while diving off Port Douglas.

Local diving operator Steve Edmundson said: "Steve was hit by a stingray in the chest. He probably died from a cardiac arrest from the injury."

Police confirmed that paramedics were flown to nearby Low Isles, where Irwin was taken to be treated, but he died before they arrived.

Irwin, who runs the world famous Australia Zoo, is survived by his wife Terri and their two young children, Bindi Sue and Bob Clarence.

Speaking to Sky Television, Queensland Tourism Minister Margaret Keech said: "It's a dreadful loss for the tourism industry and for nature conservation."

"Everybody who met Steve was impressed with his energy and his enthusiasm," she said.
Irwin made almost 50 'Crocodile Hunter' documentaries, which earned him worldwide acclaim for his dare-devil stunts with animals.

The world has sadly lost a real man who understood ferocious animals' behaviour and manerism. He has conveyed to us relationship which he entertained with dangerous animals that no other man dares, unfortunately he feared no danger and his courage came to an end.

I shall miss him amongst my favourite TV stars as I used to watch his programs endlessly.
May his soul rest in peace.

Indeed the world has lost a wildlife icon but he was a real stupid when doing this stunt.



Holding his baby with his right hand and feeding a crocodile.

You never underestimate the power of nature!

I share your views on this instant Shehzu, he acted irresponsible by exposing his baby to that monster. I thought Michael Jackson was bad when he lifted his baby over the balcony of his hotel, but this was was worse.

sad to see anybody lose their life...but a man of his magnitude will be missed terribly. He brought to us an entertaining aspect of animals in the wild and the importance of animal protection specially our endangered species...may his good work continue.
Our thoughts are with his family
