i can't believe steve irwin died, and it wasn't from a crocodile.

[David]

That's a reason I shouldn't go to bed leaving Radio 5 on, as I dreamt that last night....

It was only a matter of time when you saw some of the stunts he did.

RIP

[bumheed7]

But why would he be killed from a crocodile. He knows them and respects them to much to be killed by one.
It was always gonna be something like this that would kill him.

Legend!

[oliver]

RIP, he leaves a wife and 2 children. Il miss your TV Shows but not as much as theyll miss you.

[Hayley]

Just read about this, so sad R.I.P

RIP Steve, you will missed greatly

[Boboff]

was joe 90 killed by a Stingray, or in one ?

http://www.b3ta.com is having a field day about this ...

Seriously though, its a shame - I enjoyed watching his programmes. Still, a good lesson we've all learnt - dont hang babies near crocs, and secondly - swimming with stingrays is not good for your health.

This is quite saddening, although it is quite wierd how it happened via a Stingray, especially as it said on This Morning that the last incident of this kind happened over 60 years ago and even then the stingray was cornered and defending itself, unlike what happened hear.

Rest In Peace Steve.

I've been to his Zoo, it's a shame.

They'll have to reprint all those T-Shirts they sell with him on.

[diouri]

At least he will be remembered for something cool. But now what will kids do on a sunday afternoon?

All the reports I've seen state the stingray was probably startled.

[diouri]

dare i ask how?

What I meant was last time (from the impression I got) the stingray was specifically provoked, where as here even though it was startled it was unintentional and ironically could have happened to anyone

Watch the repeats ?

Hardly.
1.The baby wasn't hanged near the croc, it was safe in his arms.
2.The baby came to no harm and was in no danger as she was in the arms of a crocodile expert. Annoys when people bring up stuff like this on a day when the guys just died.

[Sweetzombie]

..the theme tune to Stingray popped into my head when I heard the report on the news...heartless but now it wont go away.

agreed.have some respect for the man and his family on such a difficult day!

Similar sort of thing happened to me (although I was thinking Stingray from Neighbours). There is a quite amusing, if not a tad too early and disrespectful, picture about the Stingray tv show in relation to this. I won't post it here but it's easy enough to find today, it'll probably be e-mailed to you - if not already.

[Sweetzombie]

I know.....although the man did annoy a lot of highly dangerous reptiles...what did he expect?...as far as I'm concerned its less tragic more, well you thick git....what did you think it would do.

last case of this actually happening was 60 years ago, and even then the stingray was cornered and trying to protect itself.

Which it wasn't this time.

[fish heads]

Demonhorse said earlier in this thread that it had been reported that it had been "agitated" though

[Longview01]

yeah but with that kinda creature even swimming too close can "agitate" it.

its a shame it had to be in the chest, its usually know to get the legs or arms.

[diouri]

that could have been david walliams during his superswim
