SaLiVa Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 That's horrible! He made animals exciting again. Rest in Peace. Just shocking news... :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quigley0 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 :cry: Man, that is really aweful. I feel kind of stupid, as the name is "Sting Ray", but I didn't think they actually stung anyone. Very Very sad. RIP. Oh god, if this was shot while filming, I hope the video never gets leaked. His family doesn't need that to be spread all over the net. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted September 4, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 4, 2006 Perhaps the family can take some comfort that he died doing what he liked to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bawx Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 This is the worst news I've heard all year. That guy was awesome, loved his show, loved his style. Always excited no matter who he was dealing with. Haven't you seem him with his daughter on those shows? That girl isn't scared of anything. It's unreal. He just had a baby last year, too.

Both very good comments, What he did for Australia was amazing I?ve gone to his park twice one time before he was famous and again recently I hope his family can continue his work.

AgEnTsMiTh Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I am pretty shocked by this I have to admit. My son loves for the both of us to watch his shows for a few years now. My heart goes out to his wife and family whom they seemed to have a very good close loving bond together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolCatBad Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Stingrays have a poisonous spike at the end of their tail. When disturbed they use it to spear the aggressor. Irwin apparently got it straight through his chest, causing immediate heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starcom826 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Looks like something funny is going on in his wikipedia page. It's been locked and it says he has been killed by a stingray barb through the heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
