The fish that killed Australian croc hunter and conservationist, Steve Irwin, is Sting Ray. Generally, this specie of fish are not so dangerous and rarely has it happened that they have been cause of a person's death. These fish have a barb right at the start of their tails, which are pointed and poisonous and are quite capable of killing somebody. When these creatures are kept in aquaria for people to pet, their barbs are removed. It is said that Irwin provoked these things and as defense, they used their barbs to save themselves, causing his death.

Barb in the chest.
A rare ocurrance, but not completely surprising, considering the guy's public death-wish. It was just a matter of time.
