quite a shame, risking his life for something he was so passionate for....I guess a stingray barb to the heart is better then getting thrashed and barrel rolled by a crocidile. RIP Steve Irwin
well i hear that they have footage of him being stung then pulling the barb out of his chest then hes gone. from what his team has said. the police currently have the footage.
His death defying way of life was an inspiration to me + encouraged me to get my ass out of the confines of the town and explore the forests and hills (though I don't have the guts be face to face w/ a croc).
I also watched his shows from time to time. We would always joke he was going to bite it jumping on the back of a large extremely viscious many toothed reptile or some other poisonous critter.
Now I feel bad that I indeed heard it on CNN like we said.
It is a sad thing for his wife and kids. My thougths go out to them.
he was one of my idols...i learned so much from him...he was in hills in ky catching diamondbacks one time...wish i could have met him. i have caught copperheads and one watermouth but not diamondbacks yet!!!
