His show got delayed because of weather, so he was just shooting a little footage of a stingray for a kids show. Steve unknowingly boxed in the stingray and it felt threatened, so it attacked him with the barb on it's tail. it pierced through Steve's chest and released a chemical that stops blood circulation. His body was then flown to a morgue in Cairns. It was shocking because it was so sudden and you would have thought he would die from a crocodile, not a stingray.

Yes, he died from a stingray tail impaling his left chest. He was very entertaining to watch and more often than not, a good spokesperson for wildlife preservation. Certainly colorful, though the incident with his 1-month old baby and the croc turned a lot of people off. :)

Yes. Its very sad. He was quite a famous person. He not only was brave and fearless, he was a champion of enviormental protection. I can't imagine how many people will be mourning for him when the day ends.
Rest in peace steve...Have a safe trip to the other life...

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

Yes, killed by a sting ray! Sad, but it shows that animals have instincts and impulses. Usually, those are not lethal animals, but the base of their sting has a poison that gets injected when you get stung. Many people may get stung when stepping on one in shallow waters, often times in the feet. However, he got stung in the heart, and that is lethal then!

Steve Irwin is bigger than life. He knew what he stood for and he knew what he stood against. He will be missed.
I have to reflect on those who do not yet know the meaning of life and their own mortality. Let us not be well wishers to those who have started that journey, for each of us is standing in the line, we know not where.

yeh its true. I only just found out but he was stabbed through the chest by a stingray while filming a new program. I didnt know they could actually stab people but apparently they have "barbs" that can. He died almost instantly.

I've expected it and I think everyone else did too, just not so soon. You can't spend that much time messing with wild animals in their natural habitat without reprocussion. I mean seriously, how many times has he been bitten, scratched, hit, stung, grabbed etc. already? It was just a matter of time. I thought it would have been a crocodile myself - fitting.
