Australia's "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin dies: media 17 minutes ago

Steve Irwin, the quirky Australian naturalist who won worldwide acclaim, has died in a marine accident off Australia's northeast coast, local media reported on Monday.

Queensland state government sources quoted by Australian Associated Press (AAP) said Irwin, 44, whose television show "The Crocodile Hunter" won international acclaim and popularized the phrase "Crikey," was believed to have been killed by a stingray barb that pierced his chest.

Oh, that's too bad! I loved that guy! He's got little ones too. :blink: I hope he was a Christian. I'll be praying for his wife and kids.

Oh dear! He was quite a character, wasn't he? I feel badly for him, and his surviving family. He sure took a lot of chances with his life.

That's to bad, but I can't say I'm suprised. He would jump on top of crocodiles, grab snakes or anything else that could easily kill a human.

:) Ah! Awwwww... I read the article link on Drudge, I had thought that his wife Terri was with him, but she was in NZ on another assignment when this happened, and was still unaware when the report hit the news. How sad. :o

I always had a hard time watching him because he made me nervous... I would fear seeing him get hurt, and marvelled at the marriage he and his wife had. The trust and cooperation displayed in their relationship was quite inspiring and I always ejoyed watching them work together.

:taped:

Praying for the family... :24:

I used to watch this man in absolute amazement, sorry to hear of his death. Praying for his family.
