NOT RELEASED YET

2006-09-14 11:53:17 · answer #1 · answered by rapid57702 4 · 0 0

The video will not be released for quite some time IF it is even being released. Steve Irwin was a great man, a legend, and I wish to honor him by choosing NOT to watch such a video. With all due respect to everyone out there; I agree the morbid fascination with wanting to watch the video is wrong, but Steve Irwin did in fact request that any and all videos (including a video that would show his death) be shown to the public. His wife and close family members wish to respect and honor him by complying with this wish.

The problem with people these days is the level of 'political correctness' everyone wants to have. Saying 'just let the man die and rest in peace' is a personal opinion. I myself wish that the video would never surface, but as a human being I myself can simply choose 'NOT' to watch when it eventually does. I am more inclined to agree with Steve's family, and to honor his life by fulfilling his wishes... Those of you who say you want the video destroyed have NO idea what value that video has for immediate family and are quick to judge based on personal opinion.

More specifically, in response to little_flower57:
If a video of my father's demise would arise and spark worldwide curiosity, it would infuriate me. I would do everything in my power to make sure the video is destroyed.....
unless my father wanted me to show it. In that case, the last way I can honor my father is to fulfill his wish, regardless of how I may feel....

ultimately, that's going to be released. i do belive, despite if that's death, Irwin created plenty for the customary public to alter into in love together with his family contributors and morals. Now each thing has a beginning up, and an end. Unfortunatly this has a tragic ending, that no person interior the customary public would be responsive to roughly for an rather long term. i think of the least his family contributors can do for the customary public , is to launch it, so we are able to all GREIVE at the same time. i be responsive to that no longer ONE guy or woman might chuckle or criticize it.

From all that I have heard this video is still in the possession of authorities. This tells of that.

New Details In 'Croc Hunter' Death
Video Suggests Stingray Stab Wound, Not Venom, Was Fatal Blow

CAIRNS, Australia, Sept. 4, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A doctor on board Croc One, Steve Irwin's research vessel, was unable to resuscitate Irwin after a stingray pierced his heart Monday. When a rescue helicopter reached the boat, Irwin had already died. (AP)






Fast Fact

Irwin's manager and producer John Stainton described the footage, which he had seen, as "shocking."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(CBS/AP) "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin was videotaped pulling a poisonous stingray barb from his chest moments before losing consciousness forever, a witness said Tuesday.

The tape of the final moments Monday of the man known by TV audiences worldwide for his infectious enthusiasm in hosting wildlife program "The Crocodile Hunter" has been secured by Queensland state police as evidence for a coroner's inquiry.

Irwin, 44, was shooting footage for a new wildlife project he was making with daughter Bindi, 8, for airing next year in the United States when he was fatally wounded off the north Queensland coast.

Irwin's manager and producer John Stainton described the footage, which he had seen, as "shocking."

"It shows that Steve came over the top of the ray and the tail came up, and spiked him here (in the chest), and he pulled it out and the next minute he's gone," Stainton told reporters in the city of Cairns where Irwin's body was taken for an autopsy.

"That was it. The cameraman had to shut down," Stainton added.

"This is just unbelievable," Nigel Marven, a well-known wildlife specialist who was a longtime friend of Irwin's, told CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips. "It's not the venom of the stingray. What happened was, because these things have got eight-inch spines, it must have lashed its tail and it was almost like he was knifed into the heart."

Irwin became famous through his series "Crocodile Hunter," which was picked up by the Discovery Channel in 1993 and became an international hit.

The station's owner Discovery Communications Inc. announced it plans a marathon screening of Irwin's work and will create a wildlife fund to continue his conservation work.

"Rarely has the world embraced an animal enthusiast and conservationist as they did Steve Irwin," Discovery Networks International President Dawn McCall said in a statement.

Billy Campbell, the Discovery Network's U.S. president, said the first time he went scuba diving with Irwin on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, they went through the lengthiest safety check he had ever experienced.

So when Campbell heard Irwin died while filming in the same area in a freak diving accident, he was "stunned."

"Everyone knows he was a risk-taker and he acknowledged that, but safety always came first," Campbell said.

This is exactly what is wrong with our society. Isn't it enough that he died? Isn't enough that his family had to share this very sensitive and sad situation with the world? Isn't enough that we all know how he died? Do we have to be subjected to morbid curiousity on top of all the really horrible things that we see every night on the evening news?

How would you feel if this was your dad and people wanted to watch the video of his death? Really think about that one.

Sick question. It is being used by the police while they investigate the death and then they said they will destroy it. I hope it never gets out. No need for anyone to see this.

I heard on tv that as soon as they finish the autopsy, it will be released because that is what he wanted. I am waiting to see it also. May God Be With Him........
