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

I am from Kuwait. A lot of people know him here. As a matter of fact my mom loves him, my nephews too....
Its not that big of news here, but a lot of people are aware of it.
Not only I was shocked, but also pretty distressed to hear the tragic and sudden loss, but I was also thinking that Steve Irwin died doing something he likes pationately!
Meaning, he was in the area to film a documentary about Ocean's Deadliest, and due to weather conditions, the filming was delayed! Instead of just waiting, he decided to film some segments in shallow water.... The man doesnt give up! He is colorful and full of energy :)
If I was in Australia, I would go and pay a visit to Australia's Zoo (Irwin's Zoo) and pay respect to the AMAZING CROCODILE HUNTER!
God rests his soul.

my family was in shock after hearing the news of mr. irwin's death, and the cause of it. He was an entertainer, yes, but an educator, husband and father first. How tragic for this young family, and for the world. We will miss him here in the U.S. He lived and died doing what he loved best.. how many of us will leave such a legacy to our children? So sad he'll not watch them continue to grow up...

It was very sad. I live in the southern part of the USA. It was big news here too. I have a young son who loved to watch him on tv. He was very sad too.

I was not shocked that he died doing something he loved. I just feel sad that he died so young, he had so much more to offer. My heart goes out to his family especially to his wife and two children.
