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.

RE: Stingray Barb

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

I guess I cant try to impersonate him now

crikey

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

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.

Firebird67dude · 09-04-2006, 11:29 AM

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 · 09-04-2006, 11:32 AM

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 · 09-04-2006, 11:35 AM

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

RIP Crocodile Hunter

im pretty sure you are right. the kids are still alive. if we were talking about dad then it would be had.

WayFast84 · 09-04-2006, 02:14 PM

V · 09-04-2006, 02:15 PM

WayFast84 · 09-04-2006, 02:20 PM
