Oddly, that certainly wasn't the way I was expecting him to die. At least he died doing what he loved though.

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin dead
He was killed in a freak accident in Cairns, police sources said today.
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 when the tragedy occured.
Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality this morning at Batt Reef off Port Douglas.
Irwin's body is being flown to Cairns.
It is believed his American-born wife Terri is trekking on Cradle Mountain in Tasmania and is yet to be told of her husband's death.
Irwin - known worldwide as the Crocodile Hunter - is famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchcry "Crikey!".
The father of two's Crocodile Hunter program was first broadcast in 1992 and has been shown around the world on cable network Discovery.
He has also starred in movies and has developed the Australia Zoo wildlife park, north of Brisbane, which was started by his parents Bob and Lyn Irwin.
Tributes have already started pouring in for the larger-than-life character.
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, who used a photograph of his family at Australia Zoo for his official Christmas card last year, hailed Mr Irwin for his work in promoting Australia.
Irwin was heavily involved in last year's "G'Day LA" campaign.
"The minister knew him, was fond of him and was very, very appreciative of all the work he'd done to promote Australia overseas," a spokesman said.
A Tourism Queensland spokeswoman said the death was shocking and paid tribute to Irwin's "enormous contribution" to his adopted state.
Louise Yates said it was impossible to quantify how much Mr Irwin had meant to the Queensland tourism industry.
"I don't think we could even estimate how much he brought us through his personality and his profile and his enthusiasm about Queensland," she said.
"It would be difficult to estimate how much he was worth. And it would be difficult to underestimate."
She said Irwin had been a larger-than-life ambassador.
"It's not just what he brought but what he took with him when he travelled, his passion."
Australia Zoo, on southeast Queensland's Sunshine Coast, employs more than 500 people and attracts thousands of visitors every day.
But Ms Yates said it would be "unfair and unjust" to put a dollar value on Irwin's worth to the state, because of how much he had given.

Re: First Sigfried and now the Crocodile hunter.
It was actually Roy who was attacked and critically injured.It was sad to hear this,because though the guy was a bit annoying,he was a decent guy who just couldn't restrain his zestiness and sense of fun for what he loved doing,educating about exotic creatures while giving a heavy entertainment focus on his subjects.It's going to be strange not seeing him enthusiastically waxing about another great adventure.My thoughts go out to his family.

Re: Steve Irwin is Dead
WOW, what a loss of a great conservationist. I sure thought he'd die from some terrible croc accident or snake bite. What an odd way to go. I wonder if he the first to die this way?

Re: Steve Irwin is Dead
I always thought a crocodile would be involved in his death. How sad.

Re: First Sigfried and now the Crocodile hunter.
Wow, what a shock... While I've never really been a fan of his, I admired his courage and it was plain to see that he loved his job. My sympathy goes out to his wife, family, friends, his working crew. He died doing what he loved best...
===============================================
Not knowing anything about stingrays or barbs, I wanted to see what it was the article was talking about...
I was astonished with this article:
http://www.jerrylabella.com/stingray.html
"What you see is what you get" is an expression that doesn’t always apply. This is true of the stingray that seemingly has no visible barb stinger. But don’t be deceived! According to Dr. Bob Shipp, Ph.D. professor of the University of Alabama and authority on fishes of the Gulf of Mexico, the barb may be concealed within a sheathlike tail wrapping, depending on its size and species. The barb, or spine, according to Dr. Shipp, can grow back if broken off, and is actually a modified scale, armored with recurved serrations that are as sharp as razors. The stingray has the ability to whip its tail up over its back and strike a victim. During the strike the tail sheath covering instantly moves back to expose the barb, located about one third the way down its tail (bluntnose and Atlantic species). In some instances it can whip its tail around a victim to exert a more powerful blow.
Never underestimate the penetrating ability of a stingray’s barb, even on the smallest of stingrays. The stingray’s barb is designed to penetrate virtually all sorts of dense materials, including wood and leather. And as unbelievable as it may seem, it’s been documented that large stingrays are able to drive a barb through a boat’s wooden planks or completely through a persons arm or leg.
According to Dr. Shipp, when a stingray strikes, it either removes its barb entirely, or breaks it off inside of the victim. When this occurs, doctors must probe the wound to make sure all particles have been removed, so the injury will not result in gangrene. In cases where the barb deeply penetrated, the wound must be enlarged to make sure it is properly cleaned.

Re: Steve Irwin is Dead
CRIKEY!!
I went to a supermarket in Cairns* earlier this afternoon just after the news of Steve Irwin's death had been broadcast on radio and telly. There were groups of people standing around talking about the tragedy. I was absolutely certain that the people who comprised the groups were not known to each other, but such an awful tagedy as this does bring people together to share a common loss, even if it is for just a few minutes.
Irwin was seen by many to be a brash, young "professional" Australian but he did an enormous amount of good work for conservation of indigenous Australian species, and it will be this for which he will be remembered.
* Steve Irwin's death occurred off Port Douglas, about 40 mile north of Cairns in Far North Queensland
