` ‘Crocodile Hunter’ Steve Irwin killed by stingray CAIRNS, Australia - Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and conservationist known as the “Crocodile Hunter,” was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. “He came on top of the stingray and the stingray’s barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart,” said Stainton, who was on board Irwin’s boat at the time. I always figured he'd end up getting his head bitten off... R.I.P. ya crazy bugger !
I guess that's the last time an australian dare devil swims with a sting ray. It is very sad though, i mean imagine telling your kids that your father the crocodile hunter got killed by a sting ray.
