THE Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, is dead.

He 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.

He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas filming an underwater documentary and that's when it occured.

Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality this morning at Batt Reef off Port Douglas.

You could argue that he was asking for it, but he was good at his job regardless.

[Paulina]

NOOOOO HE CANT DIE!! Hes My Hero!!

[PMS Fedaykin]

[xi Apocalypse ix]

[xi Apocalypse ix]

They say men dont cry, well Im 37 and Im crying about it.

It's not really a surprise he died at work, though...

"It's not really a surprise he died at work, though..."

Yah I always imagined he'd die on the job also.

[Markotics]

yeh i was out all day.. came home about 2:40 pm and heard it on the 3pm news on the radio

[EpiK SkillZ]

Wow, I'm really surprised. I definitely wasn't expecting that. I'm gonna miss those shows, seriously.

[Kal-El]

Crikey :(

[H2O SkywalkerX]

that sucks. he was a good guy. and he loved his work.

[Kal-El]

at least he died doing what he loved, so we know he died happy.

[Maverick]

aw. that is really sad :[

[x SexyPink x]

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFF! i cant believe he died!

[ToRm3nTuS]

That is really...really upsetting. To some degree it changed my outlook. It was so unexpected...so sudden. That's horrible, I feel awful for his wife and children. RIP Steve Irwin

On the other forum i was on they said that apparently his wife is hiking some mountain and hasn't found out yet. That's rather sad as well. RIP

[Kal-El]

so back the h3ll off

and u STFU ^_^

If your mother died, and you were mourning her loss and someone came in and said "I don't care." I bet you'd be offended/insulted/and royally pissed off.

I'd expect a 19 year old to know better.

Dude that is just wrong, a person died and didn't deserve it. Would you like no one to mourn of your death when you are gone and just say you are just another figure to the records?

[PMS Kahlo]

Of course you have a right, it's just plain disrespectful though. :(

Yes, everyone dies eventually, but that doesn't mean people won't mourn when they do.

[Paulina]

Have Some Respect At Least Man....Geeze

[Null]

[PMS Kahlo]

Then stop posting in this thread. We don't need your insensitive comments on the topic. :)

I just seen this on the news. Who'd of thought a stingray would be his downfall after messing about with 20ft crocs. His programs were interesting and informative but it was always a case where something had to happen one day. Bit of a shame.

[PMS Slayergirl]

This is so sad I feel bad for his kids they are so little. Looks like nature finally got it's revenge... :( :(

[LadyLuck1]

Yeah, I know I feel bad for them. Kinda sad since he made an impact with his shows and such, maybe not always in the best sense, but it was there

[Meat]

I used to watch his show sometimes also. What a shame at age 44. He was punctured in the heart by a poisonous sting ray. Doing a documentary on Oceans Deadliest in Australia.

[PMS Slayergirl]

wow so sad he was my brothers hero...:( :(

[H2O Ninjitstu]

Hmmm ok

[Sir Tequila]

Kinda disrespectful the way this thread has been handled. He lead a pretty good life, with the only negatives being the horrible movie and those criminal charges.

RIP Mr Crikey.

[xi Apocalypse ix]

It's sad though but he'll always be in our memory.

[VballChick PMS]

[Nokarot]

H2O's (or at least, me, when I found out) dont have access to post new threads in the news section.

[PerfectDark PMS]

aww i was soo sadden by this news

[CaptainDemon]

he will be missed, the world was just a little bit brigther, and funnier, everytime he said "CRIKEY!!!"

[hombre pajaro]

Steve Irwin taught all of us who watched him charge crocs, sharks, snakes and other animals, that nature is perfect and so interesting. But it felt sometimes that he did not keep his distance. There's is a distance and respect we must always have when dealing with wild animals. Most of the cases where humans are harmed or killed by wild animals are beacuse that boundry wasn't kept and the animal, acting with that instinct of survival that all animals have, reacted and striked. In this case the Crocodile Hunter was that victim, and a total shame cause he left a young widow with two young boys. In my opinion he could of kept hes distance, and have been more respectful.

RIP Croc Hunter.

I believe he left a young girl (8) and a young boy (3) behind, and not two boys.

Like I said before. He died doing something he loved, and that's what I think is how he would have wanted to go.

[Devolution]

RIP Animal Prodding Hero <3.

But seriously at least he left this reality doing his loved profession. I'm gonna miss the "ahh crikeys" and sticking his fingers in animal's cloacas ;_;.

I was just listening to the radio and heard this. I couldn't believe it. I can't imagine what his family is going through right now. I know that I'll miss him. It is true that he died doing something he loved, and that's the best way to go.

RIP Steve Irwin, you'll be missed.

[edx]

He will be missed. You might not like him but you can not deny that he made millions of people realize conservation is a very serious thing. RIP

[Thorn Harvestar]

I've heard that Irwin recently said that he hoped that when he died, it would be while doing his job, and he hoped it would also be caught on film. Both ended up happening.

He really did love his job, and wildlife in general. I'm sure he loved his family even more, which makes him a good guy in my book. He will be missed.

[Mr. Cutiexface]

hahahhahahahahaha
Remember the good times?
-.-"

[RandomHero]

A man of many talents indeed and an untimely loss. I never imagined he would die anywhere other than the jaws of a crocodile but what can I say.

RIP croc hunter.

Hey guys, we're going to keep this a respectful mourning thread. If you have negative or disrespectful comments, keep them to yourself.

Please be careful what you post, some people may take it the wrong way.

[VballChick PMS]

only admins, moni, and leaders can but anyway isnt that so bizzare?

[Mr. Cutiexface]

It wasn't negative.
Stop complaining.

[Kelpie PMS]

It was very disrespectful. You shouldn't laugh when someone dies.

[H2O SkywalkerX]

It wasn't negative.
Stop complaining.


hey cutieface. do you want to get banned?

she asked you politely to edit your post. so do it.

it was very negative, you laughed at someone's death. would you like it if i laughed at you for dieing. please edit your post.


steve irwin was sometimes cruel to his animals, in the fact that he didn't leave them alone. but he was also a great person, who loved animals, and i believe truthfully wouldn't do anything to have hurt them permanently. so, he will be missed :)

[Mr. Cutiexface]

I was laughing about all the good times.
Isn't that what you do when some one dies?

[H2O SkywalkerX]

i highly doubt that's why you were laughing.

then edit your post, "Steve Irwin was such a funny guy, hahahhahahaah, he will be missed"

now is that hard to say when your laughing at the good times?
edit your post.

[Mr. Cutiexface]

Not like it matters now.
Everyone knows I said it because there is long line of you people quoting it.

[Devolution]

Hope you all don't mind I merged both threads, same discussion.

[VballChick PMS]

ok so I guess my thread got merged with this other dudes thread so 2 comepletely conversations are going on at the same time intermerged....whatever

[Jerzy Girl]

[Xenos]

[Paulina]

I Loved Him Soo Much...RIP Steve Iriwn

[Marines]

He will be truly missed from his family, fans, friends and everyone that knew him. Rest in Peace Steve Irwin; The Crocodile Hunter.:(

[PMS XxMickixX]

Yeh my dad just told us about what happened....i still cant believe that he is dead.

RIP the Crikey man.

[Paulina]

I believe he left a young girl (8) and a young boy (3) behind, and not two boys.

[H2o Killswitch]

man steve irwin was awesome all i can say is he died doing wat he loved best.

[RandomHero]

steve irwin was sometimes cruel to his animals, in the fact that he didn't leave them alone.

The South Park parody of him was great =D I forsee alot of TV tribute days coming, Animal Planet have already started between show clip thingies.

It's got to be tough on his family though.

[Paulina]

I Thought He Would Die From A Crocodile...I Guess Not

he was a professional.. you are not... please keep your distance from stupidity....


he wasn't killed by a viscous, agressive dangerous animal... infact the stingray is a placid animal that attacks only when felt thretened... the police have reviewed the video and poeple who saw the vid have said it is very hard to watch.. but all steve did was swim above the sting ray....

the irony is he wasnt doing anything dangerous when he was killed...

[Markotics]

Bindi-Sue And Robert

lol who would name their child "Bob" LMAO bob makes me laugh everytime i hear that name... bob :D

[Paulina]

k wow that was mean

[VballChick PMS]

1 crazy mutha! he will be missed

[Lady Eve PMS]

I knew that crazy guy would end up dying sooner or later. Isn't he the one who put his baby in front of a crocodile??? It's a sad thing to see someone pass...so much for all the laughs I got from watching his show.

[VballChick PMS]

ya hes the one lol

[Jumper PMS]

Hmm.. I was never a huge fan of him, I thought he was annoying. But it's so sad that he died :( I feel so bad for his family. Especially his youngest kid because they wont remember him :(

[BossB1tch]

I used to watch his shows, and have to admit that I thought he was sycotic. After a couple episodes I was hooked. His crazy ways of dealin with crocs and other wild animals were crazy. I thought he would be around forever or atleast until my kids could watch his wild ways. This is truely a shock and I too thought that he would die tackling some huge 2 ton croc that had envaded some lake or somethin. He will be forever remembered and love.

[justinbaily]

Jack hanah (used to run columbus zoo) was singing steve's prases as a conservationest-not just as some1 trying to make a name for themselves.
I'm sure animal planet will have a best of croc hunter in their timeslot for as long as people care to watch/enjoy it.
Australla is proabablly going to make him a national hero if they havn't already.

Really it's too bad.

[DJ]

jay leno had good things to say about him just saw the episode he was a good person and loved them dam animals may he rest in peace

[VballChick PMS]

[ICantLose]

Peace out you crazy australian.

[H2O SkywalkerX]

[thefamily360]

hey the family. i'm gonna grab that and make it smaller so i can use it as a banner. if it's ok : )

Go ahead, it was made for public use! Do it some good to get around!

[Lil Miss Trunky]

Personally he died as a hero and legend, he took chances in life.. you got to do that, otherwise where do you end up...doing exactly the same thing yuo were 20 years ago.

I was very upset when I read that, and it made me cry as it did to many people I know, because he was a very caring father, husband, boss, collegue and person to look up to.

One of his quotes was something like

"But I put my life on line to save animals"

He died doing what he wanted. Loving what he wanted, I am sure he will always be remembered:)
