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.

Saddletramp · 09-03-2006, 09:38 PM

May God have mercy on his soul. RIP Steve.

CBF1 · 09-03-2006, 09:50 PM

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

Killericon · 09-03-2006, 10:01 PM

Sting Ray Barb went through his chest.

Florida_Bronco · 09-03-2006, 10:03 PM

Wow...what a shame.

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

RhymesayersDU · 09-03-2006, 10:07 PM

Oh, and "Crikey!"

Rock Chalk · 09-03-2006, 10:10 PM

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.

Mtbrncofn · 09-03-2006, 10:11 PM

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

Dagmar · 09-03-2006, 10:14 PM

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

Atlas · 09-03-2006, 10:19 PM

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

-Slap- · 09-03-2006, 10:21 PM

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.

watermock · 09-03-2006, 10:29 PM

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.

Hulamau · 09-03-2006, 10:30 PM

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!

Kaylore · 09-03-2006, 10:31 PM

Crikey!

anthonypacino · 09-03-2006, 10:34 PM

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.

DeusExManning · 09-03-2006, 10:41 PM

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