*12 crocodile salute, followed by a moment of silence, followed by an honorary battle royale with 2 of every animal Steve Irwin ever wrestled*

Wow, that blows. I loved the Croc Hunter.
He did go doing what he loved though. Kinda ironic, stung through the heart. :P

Well with the way that guy acted around animals, he was sorta living on borrowed time as is. I actually always figured he would die from a snake bite.

This wasn't just a man tempting fate, but an australian icon universal to the rest of the earth and perhaps even the universe and a (once) continuing source of inspiration.
He will be missed. R.I.P

Tis a sad day. He did a lot for animal protection and I enjoyed being entertained by him many times. I was stunned to read this about a half an hour ago. :*(

RIP sir. Its a testament to his greatness that practically all of our news servers were knocked offline by the massive influx of international traffic when the news dropped.
Condolences to his wife and two little children.

Yeah pretty sad. Was a great conservationist, and was always enjoyable to watch someone who was trully passionated about what they believed in. Didn't ever think he die on the job. Pictured him more likely to just get mauled by a croc, then retire to his zoo with a claw like appendage and an eye patch.

Crikey he's dead !
I thought he was a muppet..
Ive been diving many times and seen stingrays of various sizes that never bothered anyone.. he must have been poking it with a stick.. muppet...
I feel sorry for his wife and kids more than anything..
he is a good consevationist but I hated his sensationalistic style.. muppet.

crazy, sting rays are not too aggresive, he must of really had his thumb up his bum. i got stung by one when i was 14, i landed on it while diving. i cant imagine a hit to the chest unless he was tring to hump it or something, well that or the fact they are pretty much invisible on the bottom when the burrow a bit in the sand, just two little eyes sticking up. but having seen his show i am sure he was fucking with it pretty hard and just pissed it off.

Yeah, not a Happy Day for us Aussies. However, while he was a great bloke, (I met him when I was 9), thousands die everyday. He will be missed, but lets not forget the big picture, you are born, you live, and you die. It was just his time.
