Sadly indeed the CROC DOC has passed on he was only 44. I'm quite sure he's now running about all over the heavens with noah and saint francis and catching up on all those extinct creatures.He was a man that took chances to make us more aware of the wild world all around us .Many times i sat down to watch a movie on tv and durning the commerical breaks id switch over to animal planet or discovery and there he'd be sticking his hand and sometimes his head into a dangerous situation .I would remain watching and forget to go back to the movie ......he was that ,one of the fearless and was always an out and out Gentleman....May he rest in peace and may God give comfort to his family...AMEN

I was so shocked and sad. I liked watching him on t.v.- his death was very unfortunate. I think he shouldn't have endangered himself by doing all of the things he did w/ wild animals, but since that was what he loved 2 do and had a passion for, then I respect him. It's scary- stingrays are everywhere now- in the ocean on the beach, etc. People should be more careful. I read that the sting piereced Steve's heart and chest- very sad.

Mr. Irwin was in a high-risk business (yes, it was a business, as he made loads of money from it). So I did not find it surprising that he was killed by a dangerous animal. It was only a matter of time. Sad for his widow and little children.

It is sad...very sad for the family & loved ones he's left behind...but, I think that he wouldn't have wanted to go out any other way. What I mean is, he was doing what he loved.
I had a friend die recently of cancer...very painful, slow way of dying...she left kids behind as well, although not as young as Steve's kids.
Unfortunately, for her she was not able to do much towards the end. I think Steve lived his life to the fullest every second of every day, and I admire him for that.

I'm sorry for his wife and child, but the guy lived his life by giving Fate the finger on a daily basis. It was only a matter of time.

I think it's a tragedy for us all. Steve did so much work brought so much to the world. it breaks my heart for his family. I think he died at peace doing what he loved daily. For him there probaly wasn't a better way to exit this world. He will be missed.

Tragic - I feel for his wife and 2 little children - they're far too young to lose such a vibrant, life-loving dad.
He taught us all a lot about animals and he will be missed!

We are deeply saddened and shocked by the sudden and tragic demise of one of the most beloved crocodile hunters in the world. But duh...did anyone not see this one coming?

This was inevitable due to his reckless behavior with dangerous animals. I feel sorry for his son and daughter having to grow up without a father.
