    Steve Irwin dead in stingray attack
    By 7News

    Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin has been killed in a stingray attack near Cairns on Australia's far north coast.
    It was believed Irwin had been swimming off the coast of Cairns when he was stung.

    "It is understood he was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest," Brisbane's Courier Mail reported this afternoon.

    Irwin was best known for his documentary series "The Crocodile Hunter".

    He was born in Victoria and found his love of animals after following in his father's footsteps, volunteering his services to the Queensland Government's East Coast Crocodile Management program.

    He spent years living on his own in the mosquito infested creeks, rivers and mangroves of North Queensland, catching huge crocodiles single-handed.

    In June 1992, he married American Terri Raines after they met when she visited Irwin's Australia Zoo.

    The 44-year-old is survived by his wife and two children.

    IS this true? I thought sting rays are gentle creatures and non aggressive, unless you accidentally steppend on them or whatever.


    just asking.

    At least namatay sya doing what he loves...

    I really think that these guys sa mga nature shows will get into trouble sooner or later with wildlife, though I'm sure they expect/accept the fact that they could get killed anyday by the creatures that they admire.

    They are still considered as wild animals.

    The last thing we want to read in the news is somebody getting killed by a panda.
