It's terrible. Spends his life fighting with crocodiles and poisonous snakes... Ends up getting killed by a fish. Not as dramatic a death as i think most people would have expected from him...

Bad Show!

Its surprising to hear he got killed by a stingray. He should have been wearing sunscreen that is supposed to protect you from harmfull rats

A stingray spike through his rib cage and then through his heart, sounds dramatic to me . . .

I can't believe this happened. Why would such a great man be so goddamned stupid to forget his Bat Anti-Stingray spray?

It honestly saddens me. A Stingray. Bloody stringray. Ugh...

i know im soo sad about it. he was such a great animal person and it was always so cool and frightening to watch him with crocs and icky snakes and stuff. gosh. this sucks

:[

I feel bad for his kids and wife poor guy!

If you want to get over the sadness look on the net for Austin Stevens hes a snakeman and he is better than Steve Irwin

I think the sting ray should be dragged through the streets of australia and spat upon by the children.

I hope he wasn't carrying one of his kids in his other hand when it happened.

^^^ now now, I respect the man for what he did
but I doubt any life insurance company would have covered him.

Bob and Donkey fuckin great comments I agree with you. If a shark eats someone they go on a massive shark hunt. I say exterminate Stingrays of the face of the earth

Its a shame, but could u imagine if its all a hoax.

Please let it be a hoax! It would be so funny. They'd probably feed him to the crocs as punishment.

Yeah, normally a fake death would be a cruel hoax to play on people. But since its Steve Irwin and not many people really care, we could all have a good chuckle when he announces that he is back to lay the smackdown on some more unsuspecting amphibious ass.

thats not funny at all. seriously could you have some respect? i DO care and they wouldnt joke about something like this.

It may interest you to know we lost another Australian Icon this week. Famous race car driver Peter Brock got killed on Friday in a car race. He crashed into a tree

2 odd accidents for Auzzies this week, sad.

Trees and Stingrays - The cause of all Austrailia's problems.

Does Peter Brock also perform death defying (er.!.?.) stunts with babies?

come on stop saying smart aleck comments about steve
he loved his kids

Im not sure where it was somewhere in Queensland but someone slaughtered a heap of stingrays for revenge.

Seriously!? That's fucking awesome and sick! I hope they get their revenge one day. They are timid and placid creatures. The daft cunt got too fucking close. If I was a croc, a stingray, a koala, a fucking cockatoo or anything like that, if some twat in kakhis came near me and tried to finger my arse I'd kill the fucker.
A loss, but he deserved it.

that is sad, maybe the animal felt threatened, we have a petting pool at our zoo, and they are not agressive animals normally or i don't think they would let anyone touch them. plus the stingsrays aren't afraid of people.

What you stingrays in your petting pool. Fuckin hell

I'm with the guy who started killing stingrays. I say we wage a war against the flat little bastards. No one kills Irwin and gets away with it, they're probably trying to take our austrailian heros one by one. Who's next? Rolf Harris?

We can even burn some trees down to teach them a lesson too. They won't try and get in anyone's way once I've finished with them.

are you sure they arent manterays?

A 3ft-wide, 200lb stingray lashed out as he snorkelled above it, piercing his heart with its barbed tail.

Manta rays use their size and fast maneuverable swimming ability for defense that has rendered tail stingers unnecessary.
All that remains to indicate their evolutionary past is a small pit at the base ot their tail where the spine used to be, and a small piece of cartilage under their skin.

-just cut and paste, I know little about these sea things.

Don't hurt the animals. That was Steve's job. The sick twisted fuck.
Oh he did this! Oh he did that!
He still liked to finger animals asses. Respect and all. But he got what he deserved.

what EVER he didnt deserve that! fuck you!

He did not deserve that !! dont hurt the sting rays

I liked him, but unfortunately, wen u play with fire long enuff, ur eventually gonna get burned. Atleast it wasn't a slow painful death (like being torn apart by crocs or something to that effect).

i agree. that wouldve been worse. but i still wish really bad that he was still here.

he died doing what he loved, and he should be respected...

i thought for the longest time, that steve irwin was an annoying lousy Aussie who couldn't keep his huge trap shut with his annoying accent. Now that he has died, ifeel really bad because i didn't realize all that he has done with conservation and the fight against species extinction. My heart goes out to the steve Irwin family and friends. I think we should all carry on Irwins legacy and should respect him now that he is gone.

Kinda lame if your gonna get taken out it should at least be by a croc or a shark.

His wife is filthy rich though, so she was probably expecting that someday something was going to happen, it was inevitable.

This is normal. haha if someone sticks their head in a crocs mouth u know their gonna get fucked up eventually
