The croc hunter has died from a stingray. Please say a prayer or send a good thought to his family and friends. The whole world has lost one of the best. He will be missed even by those of us who never met him. My heart goes out to those who will miss him most.

I got a lot of really lovely replies to my questions/comments about the death of Steve Irwin. It seems that only a few people were so insensitive as to engage in controversy while his family are still grieving. It's just always bothered me though how the media picks up on a negative and drives it to the extreme so many times, as I suspect they will do in this case. I offer my condolences as well to the family of Steve Irwin, a wonderful teacher for all of us interested in conservation and wildlife.

I am devastated and in shock.

Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray barb to his heart while filming.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Irwin have done so much for nature and wildlife - to preserve it, and to keep animals from becoming extinct.

I am so sorry for his wife and children. His shows have always brightened up my life because I am an animal lover.

I think Steve Irwin has definitely made it to Rainbow Bridge, where all of the animals go.

Since he was so good with animals, I am certain that God has arranged a very special place for him. I will really miss him, and my prayers are with his family.

I am wondering how many other animal lovers are affected by his sudden death?

I always watched his show and how dangerously close he would get with deadly animals and I always thought that he would die doing that stuff. And sure enough, he was killed by a stingray while filming a documentary. Not to slight Steven Irwin, I admired his courage, but maybe he was too brave for his own good.

....things like parts of the engines, or the undercarriage assemblies, or cockpit parts. Or was everything completely destroyed by the impact and the fire? This isn't a morbid question, it's trying to understand how to defend against another such attack in the future. Say by someone seeking to glorify or relive the attacks on a significant anniversary.......

'Crocodile Hunter' Irwin killed

The naturalist worked to protect Australian wildlife

Australian environmentalist and television personality Steve Irwin has died during a diving accident.
Mr Irwin, 44, was killed by a stingray barb to the chest while he was filming an underwater documentary in Queensland's Great Barrier Reef.

Paramedics from the nearby city of Cairns rushed to treat him at the scene but were unable to save him.

Mr Irwin was known for his television show The Crocodile Hunter and his work with native Australian wildlife.

Police in Queensland confirmed the naturalist's death and said his family had been notified. Mr Irwin was married with two young children.

"It is believed that Mr Irwin collapsed after being stung by a stingray at Batt Reef off Port Douglas at about 1100 (0100 GMT)," a police statement quoted by AFP news agency said.

"His crew called for medical treatment and the Queensland medical helicopter responded. However Mr Irwin had died."

The stingray is a flat, triangular-shaped fish, commonly found in tropical waters.


Mr Irwin's documentaries were shown around the world
It gets its name from the razor-sharp barb at the end of its tail, coated in toxic venom, which the animal uses to defend itself with when it feels threatened.

Although deadly, such attacks on humans are a rarity. David Penberthy, editor of the Sydney Daily Telegraph, told the BBC he had never heard of anyone in Australia being killed by a stingray before.

"You know we still at this early stage don't know what type of stingray it was, or, you know I guess given the bloke's track record, whether he was getting up close and personal with it as well," Mr Penberty said.

"Or whether it was just a total freak accident and in the course of making this nature documentary he just ended up being attacked."

Documentaries

Mr Irwin had built up what was a small reptile park in Queensland into what is now Australia Zoo, a major centre for Australian wildlife.

He was famous for handling dangerous creatures such as crocodiles, snakes and spiders, and his documentaries on his work with crocodiles drew a worldwide audience.

But he also courted controversy with a series of stunts.

He sparked outrage across Australia after cradling his one-month-old son a metre away from the reptile during a show at Australia Zoo.

A probe was also launched to investigate whether Mr Irwin and his team interacted too closely with penguins and whales while filming in the Antarctic, but no action was taken.

Foreign Minister Alexander Downer praised Mr Irwin for his work to promote Australia.

"The minister knew him, was fond of him and was very, very appreciative of all the work he'd done to promote Australia overseas," Mr Downer's spokesman said.
