To Steve Irwin

couldnt believe it when i heard

if u havent heard he got killed by a sting ray while doing a dive

[upnorth1]

me and ten of my pals are off to Gambia in February - we will be targetting, guitar fish, butterfish, captain fish, and also stingray, one of the lads had a one 55lbs last year...apparently, it wasn't the venom that killed him - they've described it as like being "knifed" in the chest. The large spike at the end of the stingray's tail has lashed him in the chest and penetrated his chest bone and reached his heart...

only just heard,i have just got up.
very sad,he has given countless people a great deal of pleasure with his antics with snakes and other dangerous animals,i for one thought he was totally loony but admired him immensely,
he died doing what he enjoyed the most,
my thought are with his family

Always enjoyed his programs, very sad news, a guy I always admired for his doings.
