I still cannot believe this even despite the fact his lifestyle was dangerous. And of all the animals to be killed by...a sting ray. I've heard they were very docile animals unless agitated. I am still in shock....I just saw his commercial for his new marine show on animal planet before my mom called me with the news.....

A stingray stung him in the heart. It's thought he died instantly. Google it.

Yes, very sad. But he died doing what he loved. And how many of us have that what he has had. Very sad indeed.. he leaves behind a beautiful daughter and wife.

Too bad. He was an entertaining guy.
The stingray is the most surprising part about his death. I always thought he might be killed by an animal, but expected it to be a crocodile or some other Australian predator.

I can't believe it either. I'm still in shock. He loved his animals so much and he did a lot for animal preservation. STEVE IRWIN ROCKS!!! I will miss him.

Though not an avid fan, I thought he was cool, he was one crazy SOB, but to die in such a way was near impossible for someone so in tune to the animal world.
