Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin killed by stingray today

It is sad......I said the same thing for that Grizzly-Man guy who lived with wild bears...eventually, they found the remains of what the bears didn't eat......but seriously, what do you expect when you play with wild animals. I understand Steve wasn't playing with the Ray at the time, but still....that guy was nuts, completely nuts! I did enjoy the show a few times nonetheless, I'm sure he was a good man, he shall be missed..

RIP, Crikey!!!

Everyone in my family loved his show, our condolences to his wife, daughter, son and family. I wonder if they will ever show the incident? CNN says there's footage of the attack!

A sad day. He was a huge inspiration and a great conservationist. And always good for a laugh. He will be sorely missed!!

I was surprised at how much international coverage this got. He was cringeworthy to watch for all Australians as he took our image back 50 years but he was a great bloke and did a lot for the animals and the environment.

He used his fame and money to further his causes and didn't have a bad bone in his body.

He was a great Australian that we should all be proud of.

Very sad, he was a geat husband and father.

I was annoyed with one of the networks that kept putting on the debate they had with him about him bringing in his youngest to a crock show. Most inappropriate.

He died doing what he loved, but it stinks that he died via a normally docile, mostly harmless animal. If it was a dangerous animal, that would have made sense.
