Crikey! The crocs did not kill him. The stingray did. The barb of the stingray pierced his heart and he died from cardiac arrest before paramedics could reach him. Steve Irwin seemed indestructible to me. Nothing could harm him. He was always amazing to me...the things he did with those animals. The danger that he seemed fearless in getting close to. I loved watching his show and so did dirty Fila. He was fearless!
Australia and the world has lost a great naturalist. He packed 10 years of living into each year of his life, it seemed. At least he went doing something he loved. He was doing research for a documentary off the coast of Australia. He really was a bright star in the universe. My condolences to his family.
