Not a huge fan of the bloke but still a good aussie personality.

Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the “Crocodile Hunter,” was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, Australian media said. He was 44.

A helicopter carrying paramedics flew to the island, but he died from a stingray barb to the heart, ABC reported on its Web site.

RIP Steve.

Crocodile hunter killed by a fish ..how Ironic God bless his soul

Not a very good news to start the day

This is sad, he left behind a wife and children...

A day of mourning for All Australians

damn was a fan of him......hope he is in better place

It is somewhat ironic how he's encountered some of the most dangerous animals/reptiles in the world yet gets taken out by a stingray.

Personally thought he was abit of a clown on tv but much respect to his work towards preserving nature through funding for wild life sanctuaries, sponsorships, education programs... the list goes on...

Thats sad i was a big fan of his, used to love his shows.

May his soul rest in peace

I will second that XR. I used to watch him all the time on Discovery.

Prayers for his family.

this is sad. but he made a difference in rehabilitating wildlife.

'I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.' -Steve Irwin

May his noble soul rest in peace.

worst thing is his wife has not been informed yet ... she is apparently tramping somewhere out of contact

He will be missed by my wife and I we enjoyed his shows tremendously, may God have mercy on his soul.

I loved the guy... So funny and one of the few persons who actually used TV as a way to educate and show us some gorgeous parts of the world...

You will be be missed Steve!

Never saw his shows except for a few of his commercials.

Based on the comments from all of you. Lets hope that someone else comes along to carry on his good work.

Prayers for the family of course.

damnn this is sad.. god bless his soul ..

Sad, truly sad...did watch some of his stuff and admire all the conservation work he did.

It was just his tv delivery style that got on my tits!



Knight

he really should have used sunblock

protection from harmful Rays is very important

in a interview a few weeks ago Steve Irwin was aked what his favourite childrens TV program was.

He said he loved Thunderbirds but he had a special place in his heart for Stingray

I don't find this very funny.

I had the pleasure to meet Steve Irwin in the early 90's and back then he was a genuine individual that had just set up a small Crocodile Farm on the sunshine coast.

In an odd, way, this really hurts and was a downer on the day.

Aww Ian... It is sad, he was a cool dude!! I am sure there are many Aussies who took inspiratin from Steve and will follow his footsteps!

Here's hoping!

well for the majority of us Ian he's just a bloke on the telly, cant please everyone all of the time. Take a chill pill mate you will survive.

So sad There will never be anyone like him.

Sick but funny

This is so sad. Steve was a great advocate of wildlife, conservation and education on the natural world.

His shows, his vitality will be missed by many around the world. I hope others continue his fantastic work.

Everyone will be able to watch him one more time because his family wants the video footage of his death to be released to the public.
