Crikey.
I guess, deep down, everyone knew it would happen sooner or later. Too bad, though.

He was the greatest apex of humanity. It's all downhill from here folks...

I once saw him put his head into the open mouth of a crocodile. I always figured that he was simply incapable of dying.

And to die because of a sting ray is just sad. The only way he should have gone is getting his head bitten off by an alligator.
Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter, dead at 46. - Great Rumbler - 4th September 2006
He should have gone by having his head bitten off by an alligator while sky diving from 80,000 feet along with an entire orchestra playing "Flight of the Valkyrie" and Godzilla is fighting King Ghidorah and Mecha Godzilla in the background.

Well...at least he went before his son's head was bitten off by an alligator...

Come on, guys. He got stung by a stingray that <i>pierced<i> his heart. If that's not a cool way to die then I don't know what is.

THIS is what killed him, in the heart.
That's the way to go, as violently as possible.
Always loved that guy. Bad father? He taught them a lot of what he knew and he himself was raised around these dangerous "critters".

It's quite a shame. He was a very passionate man who felt strongly about the environment and believed in what he was doing. Sure, he did some crazy shit, but the man knew what he was doing. The fact that he didn't die sooner just proves that he was very skilled.
Rest in peace, mate. :(

Right now, Steve is running around the various underworlds examining the flora and fauna and capturing all sorts of netherworldly creatures. I bet he's riding a sandworm right now!
In all seriousness, the one thing I hope doesn't happen is that people start being terrified of sting rays and hunting them down. That would more or less fly in the face of what he was working for. (Care around them would be advisable though. If HE didn't see this thing in the sand as he swam by, it says something about how well hidden they can be. It may be best to hover a little higher above the ocean floor as you swim along should one do any dives in the future, only descending in spots here and there. Maybe some chain mail would have done the trick too...)

I already know some people who want to go around killing stingrays, or find the stingray that killed Steve (pffft, yeah right) and kill it. That would go against Steve's message entirely. He was well aware that he would probably one day be killed by the very animals he loved, and yet he still continued to preach his message of love and care for nature. The only way to honor his legacy would be to follow in his footsteps, not killing every creature that's ever posed a safety hazard to humans.

They showed him on TV feeding his infant child to a crock.
I was very disturbed. That little stunt earned him much legal trouble as well.
He later explained in his defence in an interview, "You have to teach children about animals at an early age, I wonted my son to be really close to the animals mouth so he could see it."
Son, this is what a hungry Kroc who wants to eat you looks like. In the video he swung the baby around the Kroc's mouth.
Crikey! that Kroc ate my baby!
Although he had utter lack of comen sense he was a great conservationists and will be missed by all.
Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter, dead at 46. - Dark Jaguar - 5th September 2006
He has said that when he goes the thing that would make his day is if he was able to say "crickey!" as he went.
By the way, he didn't "feed his infant child to a crock". First of all, the child welfare place decided he had broken no laws. Second, he is a trained professional. Third, you must have watched a different video. At no point did he "wave his child around the gator's mouth". He kept his kid a safe distance and waved a dead chicken around the gator's mouth.

As you said, that's not the video I saw, the one they showed last night Clarey sows Steve enticing the Kroc with his son, then he slipped it a dead chicken at the last moment. I would have been so disturbed had I not seen it.
Oww, and trained pro or not, having a baby that small with in 100 years of a hungry Kroc... Is stupid.
Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter, dead at 46. - Dark Jaguar - 5th September 2006
What does "100 years" mean?
At any rate, it's a matter of risk assessment. It's only stupid if there's too high a risk involved. For example, 1 in 4 would have been too high. However, as of yet Steve's yet to die by croc. He died by completely random stingray attack.
My point is, if you were in a zoo inside a croc building with a safe meshed and enclosed walkway seperating you from the large swampy croc ridden place, taking a baby would be fine. Having STEVE IRWIN is like having 10 foot thick walls of adamentium between you and a croc at all times.
Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter, dead at 46. - Weltall - 5th September 2006
No, it means you have six feet and 180 pounds of tasty, nutrient-rich flesh between you and a hungry croc.

100 yards Typo..
Owe,
Dark Jaguar Wrote:However, as of yet Steve's yet to die by croc. He died by completely random stingray attack.
My point exactly, you expect him to be safe tempting a Kroc's appetite with a small child, yet at the same time he managed to piss off a animal now in some petting zoos with a extremely genital demeanor to his ultimate demise.

That's your funniest typo yet. :D
I have nothing else constructive to add to the topic besides - R.I.P., Steve. :(

Sting rays do have demean genitals, dolphin genitals are much more denicer.
I cant believe he's dead. I just cant. People like him dont die, it would be like reading that Jackie Chan died while making a movie or the Mythbusters died while breaking a myth. Unfuckingbelievable.
also, sting rays are not gentle. The stingrays you see in the aquarium are gentle because they had their stingers removed and they learned that they cant defend themselves. Stingrays in the wild sting often at anything they think is too close. Though it's usually in the foot and just hurts like all hell. Getting it in the heart.... fuck. You know his crew was there, on staff doctors, etc, so a stingray sting to the heart must be like a super venomous sea snake bite; one hit kills.
Maybe stingrays are always aiming for vital organs but because we're upright we get it in the legs usually.
Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter, dead at 46. - Dark Jaguar - 6th September 2006
Anything to the heart is generally enough to kill you almost instantly. Instant loss of blood pressure just ain't good for the brain.
Stingrays may not be intelligent enough to aim for vital organs but just anything getting too close. Then again, even insects know to aim for the eyes... At any rate, the stingray isn't interested in killing you, just getting you not to kill it.
