Yeah Australia is ina bit of shock. people are only hearing the news during the day, when we get to tonight/tomorrow the news will be bigger. Im ashamed to say the first thing i said when i heard was "Crikey" Since then, of the 15 people i smsed, 9 replied back the same way. So at least Im at home amoungst bastards

I was just shocked! I love this guy! If he was going to be killed I thought it would be in an epic struggle with a Croc, or a killer ape, or a shark or something like that. Kind of ironic he was trying to show that rays aren't killers and then he gets the stinger lodged right in his heart. This is so terrible.

By the way, it should be pointed out this his wife is out hiking somewhere and they're pretty sure she doesn't even know he's dead yet.
He also have two young children.
Very tragic.

she was in Tasmania, a small island state off the bottom of Australia.
And she now knows, and is on her way up to Cairns

It's really sad to hear about this. It's a great shame this had to happen. I have to give Irwin credit for being entertaining. He loved his work and it showed. He'll be missed.

Hmmm... sorry, but it doesn't surprise me that much. That guy sure loved his field, but his desire to show off (and maybe getting used to?) was making him do the kind of stuff that favors something like this to happen. It's a shame, and I'm sorry for his wife and kids...

Get the article right from Australia mate, or use tiny URL! Is he from Australia or New Zealand?

This is really a shame. I have been a fan of Steve for quite awhile. I found his passion for life and nature inspiring.

he's Australian.
Its funny, a lot of us Aussies were always kind of embaressed by him. I mean, i know i made fun of him many times; the number of people who thought I talked/acted like he did was kinda frightening.
But the support has been overwhelmingly possitive for the event. though the sad jokes are beginning, and Im sure will get more widespread as time goes on.

This is sad and all, it is the loss of a human life after all. And for some reason I always tought he would die a very old man, but, he died the way he lived, doing the thing he loved the most until the end. All in all, it's not a terrible way to go.
