Steve Irwin Dies Exactly Like You'd Expect

[Advocate]

yeah I was a bit shocked by the news, but like others have said. He's been risking his life for years sticking his head in a croc's mouth, holding snakes by its tail, etc. A bit ironic he was killed by natures more docile animals.

Wow!

I thought one day I'd see on the news, that he got ate by a crock. The guy was crazy around them.

I was flipping channels the other day and saw him messing around with a Mantra. The guy always put on a good show.

R.I.P. Crock Hunter!

Science. It was the pursuit of science. One could argue that trying to fly into outer space required more than a few screws to be loose, but it was a necessary step to scientific discovery.

Right, people in this thread(fortunatly other forums i go to seem to get the message a bit clearer) seem to miss that he was one of the more prolific conservationists we have had. He was trying to save a lot of the wildlife that the self serving celebrities are pretending to care about and doing nothing about. I hope another conservationist with his passion comes about, because we still need them.

RIP, Crocman.

I guess that's karma for you. At least he won't be hanging babies over hungry crocks anymore.

Yeah, that is exactly what he is doing in that picture. Anyway, I am sad to see him go, he was pretty cool.

They showed the tooth (?) that stuck him in the heart. It looked similar to that sharp thing with the turtle but was alot longer and thinner. It was shown on CNN

Some of you seemed to miss the part where it said he BOXED IT IN. It reacted defensively and stung him. He didn't just pass by and get hit.

Witnesses said Irwin was stung in the chest and apparently succumbed to cardiac arrest while shooting an underwater segment for a new series called "Ocean's Deadliest."

They're not fucking kidding.

I kept chuckling at the thought of him getting hit by a car this morning.
