he was snorkeling and somehow the stingray got between him and his cameraman. erwin was just above him and right behind him. well the stingray seemed to have gotten spooked by the cameraman being in front of him, and he raised his tail up in a defensive mode with the barb piercing the erwin's sternum into his heart. after it had went in, erwin pulled it out, and died shortly after.

SYDNEY, Australia (CNN) -- Steve Irwin, the TV presenter known as the "Crocodile Hunter," has died after being stung by a stingray in a marine accident off Australia's north coast.
Media reports say Irwin was diving in waters off Port Douglas, north of Cairns, when the incident happened on Monday morning.
Irwin, 44 was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest, according to Cairns police sources. Irwin was filming an underwater documentary at the time.
Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality Monday morning off Port Douglas, according to Australian media. (Watch scenes of Irwin, known for his his enthusiasm, support for conservation -- 2:49)
Queensland Police Services also confirmed Irwin's death and said his family had been notified. Irwin was director of the Australian Zoo in Queensland.
He is survived by his American-born wife Terri and their two children, Bindi Sue, born 1998, and Robert (Bob), born December 2003.
Irwin became a popular figure on Australian and international television through Irwin's close handling of wildlife, most notably the capture and relocation of crocodiles.
Irwin's enthusiastic approach to nature conservation and the environment won him a global following. He was known for his exuberance and use of the catch phrase "Crikey!"
But his image suffered a setback in January 2004 when he held his then 1-month-old baby Bob while feeding a crocodile at his Australian zoo. (Full story)
In a statement released to Australian media, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer expressed his sorrow and said that he was fond of Irwin and was very appreciative of all the work he had done in promoting Australia overseas.
In 2003, Irwin spoke to the Australian Broadcasting Corp.'s Australian Story television program about how he was perceived in his home country.
"When I see what's happened all over the world, they're looking at me as this very popular, wildlife warrior Australian bloke," he said, the ABC reported.
"And yet back here in my own country, some people find me a little bit embarrassing. "You know, there's this... they kind of cringe, you know, 'cause I'm coming out with 'Crikey' and 'Look at this beauty.'"

he was diving in Bat Reef off the coast of Australia swimming straight above a sting ray whos tail whipped up and peirced him in the heart in efforts to revive him he was still alive after he was on the beach but later died after CPR and Rescue Breathing after his body was buried people were going to exume the body to examine it once more to take a look at his head. They think he might have had a head injury before he went diving in Bat Reef

Does your computer not allow you to Google something?
He was doing a show or documentary, and he was at the ocean floor, in a lying down position (imagine that he was swimming, he wasn't in a standing up position, anyway). As he moved along, he didn't realize there was a stingray beneath him, and was basically impaled by it.
There are lots of occurances of people getting hurt by them, but they're usually to the lower extremeties because they are in more of a standing position.

What happened to the word please? Have you recently woken from a coma or something? He died in an accident while shooting a tv show. Got spiked by a stingray in the centre of his chest killed outright and NO they are not going to show you what happened on the video before you ask that as your next question.

He was bit by a stingray, and it killed him. He had a nice funeral and a lot of friends and fans showed up, although his wife didn't won't a big thing made about it, the fans owed it to him. He is missed very much, especially by all children.
