Steve Irwin, Australian TV presenter known as "The Crocodile Hunter," killed in marine accident, news wires report. Details soon.
I was hoping it wasn't real :(
rip
his wife doesn't even know :(Quote:
Mr Irwin's American-born wife Terri is trekking on Cradle Mountain in Tasmania and has yet to be informed of her husband's sudden death.
I remember watching that show and hoping once..just once he would get his arm ripped off by a croc.
Shame really..but swimming with stingrays isnt exactly the safest..nor smartest thing in the world to do.
him > you
he lived life to the fullest, and enjoyed every bit of it
Having grown up on the gulf coast of Florida, I had never heard of a fatal stingray attack. are the stingrays in Australia more venomous ?
Confirmed it man, its true.
R.I.P. Steve, that guy was amazing, watched his show as a kid all the time.
Man, when I die I want to die doing what I love, even though it's sad news, at least Steve died doing what he does best.

A stingray barb.

apparently he died from a sting to the heart...
Most things Down Under are much more venomous than their counterparts in other countries.
I didn't watch his show very often, but his enthusiasm was wonderful to see. No doubt that he'll be missed.
:shuriken:
hahahah
fuck off
the aussie sterotype dead
Good riddance... LOL I'm quite surprised he's actually lasted this long. He put his life on the line every single episode which means hes got a lot of testicular fortitude. However, this is one person who wont miss the croc hunter.
Man, I come back to this forum to be cheered up and this is the news I get. How sad. Now I'm really bummed out.
He did a huge amount of charity work, mainly for animals I think
:emo:
The Michael Jackson of the naturalist world.
His programmes will be sadly missed by people who like to see animals being harrassed, rather than observed from afar.
Shame for his wife and kiddies, but.
:(
:blink: fuck off, I know what a stingray is :blink:Quote:

ungrateful pricks. steve irwin died for your freedom and you the nerve to badmouth him :dry:
He was funny as hell to listen to, but I gotta say, you play with fire.........
Commiserations to his family and friends, but Steve Irwin more than knew the risks of animal interactions such as those he sought. He gambled and put his life at risk each and every time he got into a pen with crocs, swam with sharks or rays, or picked up poison snakes by the tail. This time he lost. Yes, he lived life to the full but the lives of his wife and kids will be all the emptier due to those risks he took.
I remember when i invented a rumor that Steve Irwin died, that was months ago, but i don't think i was the first. Or is he now dead for real ?
No, it's an incredibly well-executed fabrication.
Hell, every news agency on the interweb is in on it, and :earl: too. :no:
Those bastards. Just think of the poor crocs.
Such a shame, I liked the guy. Animals deserve everything they get, when was the last time an animal wrote an epic poem or cured a disease? Never, lazy bastids.
I, for one, am going to chase Crabgirl's cat around the flat tonight like a madman in honour of our fallen animal-bothering Aussie.
Fine by me. Like Steve Irwin you do so at your own risk, and when she turns around and bites you, I'm gonna do nought but laugh.Quote:

those who say he pestered animals, do u know anything about the guy?
his parents founded australia zoo. they left it to him.
he'd catch all the crocs to take away from populated areas so they didnt get shot. sometimes he got a bit close, true, but imo a good man.
must saw it was gonna happen 1 day though. although i figured he'd just lose an arm or something. feel sorry for the wife and kids.
