That's a pity. It was always a risk with his job, I think he accepted that, but I still feel sorry for those who knew him.

Nooooooo!!!

I loved the crocodile hunter.
His show was the only educational thing I ever watched.

Wow

But I don't understand, how did a stingray barb go through his chest? I've swam with stingray's before, they don't seem like they could do that.

A big one might, but I think the report more likely means that he got stung in the Chest by a Stingray, wounds in the foot etc are dangerous enough, but a Stingray sting to the chest can be fatal, since the poison attacks the lungs and heart, and can get into major arteries.

Wow, this really sucks. My sympathies to his family.

...I really have no words to describe this.

Grug · **Reply #7 on:** September 04, 2006, 12:51:13 am

Yeah, this is all over the news. Didn't really like the poor sod, but I feel sorry for his wife and kids. =/

Apparently there are something like three recorded fatalities from stingrays according to what I just heard on the news. Kinda ironic that after all the dangerous animals he's tangled with he gets taken out by something that kills less people than bees do.

I feel sorry for his family and friends.

aparrently the barb got Steve right in the heart.

's what i'm getting from the news reports

TrashMan · **Reply #10 on:** September 04, 2006, 01:49:44 am

What a tragedy.

I've seen his kids on TV - cute little devils. It's horrifying that they will grow up without a father.
Yes, Steve could be a bit anyoing from time to time, but I loved to watch his show

RIP
sympathies to his family

2 things.

1)

2) A stringray? Seriously, I expected it to be in a blaze of glory wrestling 2 crocs whilst using a stick held in his teeth to pick up a deadly king cobra.

Stealth · **Reply #13 on:** September 04, 2006, 03:03:43 am

lol yeah.

but on a more serious note; anyone ever swum with a stingray? if they get agitated, they'll suddenly (and sharply) turn directions and swim the other way. when they do that, their tail slices through the water, cutting anything in the way.

that said, i can easily see how it got him. guess it just got him at a really, really, really really really bad angle :-/

Mefustae · **Reply #14 on:** September 04, 2006, 03:32:42 am

Damn, don't know what sucks more; his death, or my being too late to start the thread on the subject and call it 'Crickey!'.

Colonol Dekker · **Reply #15 on:** September 04, 2006, 05:02:53 am

LMAO. I got nothing but Vic+bob spoofs running through my head right now...........

Janos · **Reply #16 on:** September 04, 2006, 05:18:03 am

Nick Cave killed him.

Colonol Dekker · **Reply #17 on:** September 04, 2006, 05:22:06 am

The bad seeds ?

Farewell brother. Farewel.
