Answer 3

From Wikipedia:

Shortly after 11:00 a.m. local time (01:00 UTC) on 4 September 2006, Irwin was fatally pierced in the chest by a short-tail stingray barb whilst snorkeling in Batt Reef, which is part of the Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Port Douglas in Queensland. Irwin was in the area filming his own documentary, to be called The Ocean's Deadliest, but weather had stalled filming. Irwin decided to take the opportunity to film some shallow water shots for a segment in the television program his daughter Bindi was hosting,[31] when, according to his friend and colleague John Stainton, he swam too close to one of the animals. "He came on top of the stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart," said Stainton, who was on board Irwin's boat the Croc One.

The events were caught on camera, and the footage was handed to the Queensland Police.[32] After reviewing the footage of the incident and speaking to the cameraman who recorded it, marine documentary filmmaker and former spearfisherman Ben Cropp speculated that the stingray "felt threatened because Steve was alongside and there was the cameraman ahead." In such a case, the stingray responds by automatically flexing the serrated barb on its tail up to a maximum of 25 cm (10 in) of length. Cropp said Irwin had accidentally boxed the animal in. "It stopped and twisted and threw up its tail with the spike, and it caught him in the chest. It's a defensive thing." The stinging of Irwin by the bull ray was "a one-in-a-million thing," Cropp told Time magazine. "I have swum with many rays, and I have only had one do that to me."[33] Some reports have claimed that after the incident, Irwin was shown on tape pulling the barb out, before losing consciousness, but this was both confirmed and denied by his colleague John Stainton in different sources.[34][35][36] It is thought, in the absence of a coroner's report, a combination of the toxins and the puncture wound from the barb caused Irwin to die of an apparent cardiac arrest[37] or that he died quickly as a result of a punctured aorta.[38]

Answer 4

It was the one with the long steal tail. The stingray shot him through his heart. Everything was caught on video tape.

Answer 5

we r doing something in science class and we found out that a bull nose stingray killed him

Answer 6

The "dangerous" kind. The kind you can only get white people to seek out on purpose and in turn, said white person will seriously endanger their own life/lives by getting too close to the animal instead of being a reasonable human being and going the other way.

I wish they would make a DVD of White People either being injured or killed by animals they have no business messing with in the first place. It's comical because these people could go on vacation where it's safe... but nooo... They have these "Grizzlie Adams" fantasies about running around with Bears and Mountain Lions.

Why oh why do white people do 720 degree airborne flips on BMX bicycles, skateboards, pogo sticks, snowmobiles and in-line skates? I don't really know why, but every so often the results are just HILARIOUS. I mean, when I see one of these clowns rack his "huevos" on a staircase handrail while riding a skateboard I laugh my Black Butt off!

Please White People, stop. You're going to make me burst a blood vessel in my brain and I am gonna die too. LMAO!!!

Answer 7

Did I hear on the news that it was a bullnose stingray?

Answer 8

Bull Ray

Answer 9

dasyatis brevicaudata (short-tail stingray) aka smooth stingray

Answer 10

His team claims it was a "bull ray" Dasyatis Brevicaudata.
But people are sceptical, as they are not known to occur so far north up the coast.
