Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, has died after being stung by a stingray in Queensland, according to reports.

Mr Irwin apparently died in a marine accident on the Great Barrier Reef, initial reports say.

A spokeswoman for Irwin's Australia Zoo said she was aware of the reports but the zoo would not be making any statements at this stage.

My Nanny will be very upset, she loves that guy.

Sad day indeed tho, i hope his wife rethinks her lifestyle as well with a kid on board.

Sad sad day... I grew up watching this guy tempt fate.

May God have mercy on his soul. RIP Steve.

I always thought a crockie would get him in the end. Kinda disappointed it was a stingray. RIP Steve

OT: Crocodile Hunter Dead
 

Wow...what a shame.

His show was pretty cool. Sad for his wife and kids.

Oh, and "Crikey!"

To be fair, i expected this news several years ago. Flirt with death and its bound to get you. Sad anyway.

Well excuse the puck out of him. I didn't see it.


Thanks for the link. Can't believe I didn't hear about this today.

Awww, how sad! You had to love that guy's enthusiasm for life and what he did. What a shame. I didn't know sting rays could kill people.

God bless, Irwin family.

Ha, thats cause it hasnt happened here yet. They are a day ahead of us ;D

Holy ****! RIP man. Prayers with his family.

WOW. I really liked him. He made animals fun for my step kids and my daughter.

Its unfortunate, but I'm not really surprised. He was very reckless.

Marlin Perkins was bitten by a timber rattlesnake, a cottonmouth and a Gaboon viper, but he lived to be 84. He made his sidekick Jim do a lot of the heavy lifting in his later years.

He had bigger balls than me. i'm not easily scared but punching sharks and rock is not my cup of tea.

My best wishes.

That a damn shame! Irwin had a natural enthusiasm for life and wild life that was great. He did take some huge riskes and that how I thought he would have died by a snake or croc, but a sting ray!

I swim around Manta Rays all the time but they aren't as dangerous. must have puntured his heart or lung ... Damn it... rest in peace dude!

Crikey!

I hope the Discovery channel filmed it...that was the only reason I watched that show, I was just hoping one day he stuck his hand into a croc's mouth he was gonna pull back a bloody stump. That whole play with fire thing...

Wow, you are one sick, twisted person. I hope you're not serious.

Well, you're a champion alright. Maybe they'll send you his bloodsoaked scuba gear if you ask politely.

Really great guy, you have to admit that. And of all things the Sting Ray. I am in a state of shock. RIP Steve.

Geez. That's a bit morbid and harsh.
