yes it is very sad that he has died in this terrible way, it was a thing that he did all the time and he was just to close this time. I feel sorry for his family and friends, my heart goes out to them. And anyone who has anything bad to say about him should just keep it to themselves, what would it be like to someone who loved him to read someone saying mean things about him when he has just died.
Have some respect people

Unexpected, not really. Steve Irwin lived his life with some of the most dangerous animals and mammals in the world. It is sad, however, that he died at such an early age and left behind a wife and two small children. He will be missed world-wide.

Unexpected? Not really. I absolutely agree that it's a tragedy and he did a lot for animal conservation and informing people about different animals. I think that he pushed his envelope for a long, long time - and eventually, you will get hurt when you go into any type of animal's area/life. All animal creatures (sea, land, air) are made to be able to survive in the wild and save their own lives...and sometimes he gave an auora (sp?) that he would not be hurt by animals. He died doing what he loved to do...unfortunately, he leaves behind a wife and two small children to live without him.

Poor Bindi Sue and Bob it's a terrible thing to loose a parent. He was an awesome man. He has done things most people only wish or dream that they could do. Great loss to the whole of the world. I just found out and I'm crying like a baby. He was the type of person that You had to love. My thoughts are with Terri and her family this morning.

I can't believe some people! The man just died. He leaves behind a wonderful wife, an adoring daughter, and a son that will only remember him through pictures and family and friends. Yes, his line of work was risky, he knew it and I'm sure his family knew it as well. I'm also sure that everyday when he went out into the "field" he was sure to tell his family he loved them and they would wish him a safe return. You never know what life is going to throw you. Please keep this in mind people. You don't have to be doing a risky line of work to end up killed. You can't say this was something he was asking for. He was an educator of nature and this is something that he did well. My son, who is going to be 10 yrs. old soon, has been a Steve Irwin fan for at least 4 years now, is truly devastated by the passing of Steve. I had to wake him up this morning to tell him that his Hero had died during the making of documentory of another adventure of dangerous ocean life. I had to tell him it was an awful accident but that he was doing what he loved and he wouldn't want him to stop caring about the animals in the world. My son is kind of lost. He's been upset on and off all morning long. He even asked me if the News was just playing a sick joke. His dream was to go to the Australia zoo and meet Steve and work for him some day. He's actually been saving his money for 2 yrs. now to do this. I told him to keep saving because even though Steve isn't there anymore, that he could go there to meet Terri and the kids and work with them. This loss is a tragic loss for not just the fans people, we have to keep in mind that this great man had a family that he provided for and this needs to be respected. He was not evil, He did not want to die, but you never know what GOD has in store for you. Please, before posting a comment, PLEASE think about what you're going to say, if it's not going to be something nice or sympathatic, then please don't comment at all. Strangers are not the only ones that read these forums. He family and friends have access to this stuff, too and it's just cold and heartless of people to write such negative and painful comments about someones' lost loved one. My son happpened to be standing behind me as I was reading some of these comments and he saw some of the awful things some people were saying and he bursted in to tears and asked me why they were talking about him like that. Please be considerate friends. Thanks so much for those that has wonderful things to say about the man that was a hero to sooooo many kids in the world. GOD bless you all and be safe.

Wow! I hadn't even heard about this until I answered this question.
But no, I can't really say that it was an unexpected tragedy. He was a man who pushed his relationship with nature's beasts to the limits each and every day.
But few of us are able to die swiftly, painlessly and doing what we absolutely love.
He will certainly be missed by fans around the world.

This was not totally unexpected as he was famous for pushing the envelope, especially with dangerous animals. But I, for one, will miss him. His enthusiasm for animals of all kinds, especially reptiles, fed my own fascination for reptiles & amphibians and lead me to study them in great detail. (I had up to 168 snakes in my own collection at one point, down to only 7 now). Mother Nature has lost a great friend and protector, we've all lost a great educator, and he left behind a widow & two children in the prime of his life.

A tragedy yes...but not unexpected considering his line of work!

everyone has to agree... at 44?
Too young, he was a great enviromentalist and
a speaker for animals that could speak for themselves.
Its a tragedy.

My heart just goes out to his family, who cares if it was unexpected or not, it's always sad to see someone die with young children.
