Stung through the heart by a stingray. Wow. At least he died doing what he loved. But at only 44? That's sad.

sad, I feel sad cause of his kids. He just got stung in the wrong place. If he had only gotten stung in his foot or his leg. When my brother was in Mexico he got stung by a stingray in his leg. Apparently, Steve Irwin got stung in his chest. (fucking ow!)

Crocodile Man Death Crashes Web Sites
David Richards and AAP - Monday, 4 September 2006
Major Australian web sites reporting the death of Crocodile man Steve Irwin came to a standstill earlier today with many people unable to access www.news.com.au or The Sydney Morning Herald: national, world, business, entertainment, sport and technology news from Australia's leading newspaper. or NineMSN. According to News Ltd who were the first to report the story it was presumed that the reported death of Irwin was the cause.
According to News Ltd and wire services Irwin was killed in a freak accident in Cairns, police sources said. It is understood he was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest.
"A lot of the sites seem to be going up and down," according to News.com.au producer Mark Higginson. "We lost NineMSN entirely. Although we don't know for sure at this stage, I presume that the Steve Irwin story is to blame. We don't know yet whether it's local or international traffic that is responsible for this."

It's a good thing he wasn't holding his kid at the time, like he did with crocodiles nearby a few years ago a'la Michael jackson.
He caught a LOT of heat for that stunt.

Wow, I'm in a state of perpetual disbelief. I mean, you knew it was bound to happen, but a sting ray?

Just a terrible shame. He was such a good enetertainer, and seemed to love what he was doing.

What a shame, for a majority of the world Steve Irwin was all they knew about the land of OZ.
