BRISBANE, Australia - Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, Australian media said. He was 44.

Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state when the accident occurred, Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site.

The Australian Broadcasting Corp. said Irwin was diving near Low Isles near the resort town of Port Douglas, about 1,260 miles north of Brisbane.

A helicopter carrying paramedics flew to the island, but he died from a stingray barb to the heart, ABC reported on its Web site.

Telephone calls to Australia Zoo, Irwin's zoo in southern Queensland, were not immediately answered.

Irwin is famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchcry "Crikey!" in his television program "Crocodile Hunter," which was first broadcast in Australia in 1992 and has aired around the world on the Discovery channel.

He rode his image into a feature film, and developed the Australia Zoo as a tourist attraction.

Irwin had received some negative publicity in recent years. In January 2004, he stunned onlookers at his Australia Zoo reptile park by carrying his 1-year-old son into a crocodile pen during a wildlife show. He tucked the infant under one arm while tossing the 13-foot reptile a piece of meat with the other.

Authorities declined to charge Irwin for violating safety regulations.

Later that year, he was accused of getting too close to penguins, a seal and humpback whales in Antarctica while making a documentary. Irwin denied any wrongdoing, and an Australian Environment Department investigation recommended no action be taken against him.

I had no idea they could be that deadly. Essentually 12" of bone that may be sharp as a knife

:shock:

[foff667]

I guess I cant try to impersonate him now :( crikey :lol: I used to love whatching him too...as far as dying doing something you love...I dont think he loved getting stung in the heart by a stingray :lol: thats like you dying from shards of broken glass from a defective vodka bottle going down your throat while drinking and you died. But yeah he was funny to watch & completely nuts...sux that he had 2 kids too and one is pretty young. "Ocean's Deadliest" shouldve given him a clue though that he wasnt swimming with some friendly puffball fish out there.

[Tsar]

its always the unexpected that gets you, u old newbs!

[Firebird67dude]

I fouynd out that he died last night. I was listening to my popo scanner and my town's police were making fun of him. Nice to know that the police are doing their job. RIP STEVE. U ppl. kno he does have a daughter too so think about that.

[Tsar]

his money will take care of his daughter just fine. he's not the only man that died yesterday, there was probably over a 1000 of those in the world, and i bet most of them had kids...

[ChickenLittle]

that's sad news...I'm sure he will be sorely missed


RIP Crocodile Hunter:(

[V]

he actually has 2 kids

[WayFast84]

he actually HAD 2 kids
fixed

[V]

fixed

actually i do believe i wrote it the correct way, since they are not objects he really cant lose or end the "relationship" to them that had would imply, and therefore it would never be in the past tense with the use of had. i am pretty sure when refering to family members of a desceased its still "has".

Crocodile Hunter's death caught on video
AP - Tue Sep 5, 5:52 AM ET

CAIRNS, Australia - Steve Irwin was videotaped pulling a poisonous stingray barb from his chest in his last moments of life, officials said Tuesday, as tributes poured in for TV's "Crocodile Hunter." Police said there was nothing suspicious about Irwin's death and no evidence he provoked the animal. Irwin, 44, was stabbed through the heart on Monday while snorkeling with a stingray during filming of a new TV program on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Damn.

CROCODILE HUNTER DEATH TO BE BROADCAST?

STEVE IRWIN LATEST: The footage of late Australian naturalist STEVE IRWIN being killed by a stingray could be shown on TV. Charismatic Irwin, dubbed the Crocodile Hunter after his internationally acclaimed TV show, died yesterday (04SEP06) while diving on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Irwin was filming for a new documentary when he lost his life, and his cameraman shot the moment when the stingray's barbed tail stabbed the legendary conservationist through the heart. The tapes are currently being held by Queensland police - but Irwin's family are determined to respect his last wishes and allow the harrowing footage to be broadcast. Irwin once insisted, "My number one rule is to keep that camera rolling. Even if it's shaky or slightly out of focus, I don't give a rip. "Even if a big old alligator is chewing me up I want to go down and go, 'Crikey!' just before I die. That would be the ultimate for me." An insider tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "This is exactly what Steve would have wanted. He knew the dangers and was totally up for the cameras to get everything."
