Yes. Steve was filming a new episode, when he decided to swim too close to a sting ray, as is said by a colleague of his. The stingrays barb aparently went straight between two ribs and pierced a whole in his heart.

I just got through reading the story on Steve Irwin's death.
He was filming at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and
he stepped on a sting ray. The sting ray threw a barb to
his chest and made a hole in his heart.

i will never forget the image of steve irwin talking to the camera while sharks were in a feeding frenzy all around him while he stood in the water...the guy was a crazy kook but he was fascinating, funny and very entertaining...i kind of felt one day his luck would run out the way he took risks dealing with wildlife but i would never have guessed it would take a stingray to be the culprit....my condolences to his friends and family....he was one of a kind and his legacy will continue as his shows run on animal planet

That is what the news reports say- very sad actually, as he left behind a wife and three children.
