News reports he was killed by a stingray barb.

HOly cow - I looked around a bit and found it was a freak accident. He was diving and filming a documentary and a stingray barb went through his chest. Apparently his wife doesn't even know yet, as she is in Tasmania and they can't locate her.

How sad, At least he died doing what he loved. I feel very badly for his wife and daughter.

I had forgotten about that.

He was so charismatic, and his enthusiasm was simply unmatched. I wonder what will become of his zoo.

Maybe his wife will continue to run it or something to that extent. Or, maybe it'll be renamed after Irwin.

That is a real shocker, and very sad. I always enjoyed watching this guy at work, and, like many others, often wondered if his fearlessness would ever get him in trouble. Well, he has my admiration, and his enthusiasm was contagious. Good on ya, Steve!

My gosh, first Marlin Perkins, then Timothy Treadwell and now Steve Irwin. What in the animal world is going on? It seems like these days a man can not put his life in precarious situations with large, man-eating killer beasts without something bad happening! I don't get it.

Tis true, I'm afraid.

He was stung in the chest by a Ray,while filming and suffered heart failure.
