Steve Irwin (Croc Hunter) died in stingray accident

The chest ****head. It even says it right on that link.

The electricity went through the chest and around the heart, lungs, and rib cage.

rofl i didn't even notice this post. ok 1, he was stung in the heart. 2, electricity LOL? sting rays have venom.

i once know someone who got stung by a sting ray in the foot, the only way they could get the venom out was going to the hospital and they put his foot in boiling water to get the venom out.

I wonder if it was like instant death. Cause if not that would be quite painful.

Of course it was instant, one swift move of that sting ray and he was done.

sting rays have an extremely poisious like stinger thing on there ass if that thing stabs u especially in the heart your gonna have a extremely little ass chance of living it sucks hes gone cause he had a funny voice to make fun of. and to cheer up the moment his last words were possibly Croucky thats gonna leave a mark...

RIP to the animal man on discovery channel...
oh and hellsing yes my hdin is back in black

Reason I said is cause theyre made of cartilage. Not very stout. I wonder what he was doing where he got stabbed in the chest cause they tend to stay on the ground.

Here is another article I saw that probably gives a little bit better description on how it may have happened: http://people.monstersandcritics.com/art...ht_on_film

And no, if you read that link and think right away there will be a link to the video, there is not; the Australian police is in possession of the video.

EDIT: Another pretty good article; has some similarities as the previous but has some other stuff such as brief family reaction (not words, just physical reaction): http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/st...21,00.html

I think of this as a great loss. I mean he was a legend in his own time. Always looked foward to watching him. I think his entertaining anticts really brought thousands if not millions of people into thinking nature can be entertaining. Yet at the same time, giving them the true understanding and information of what it was all about.

Wow Jedi, thanks for closing my post about this which was posted before this one... sure, it makes sense because more people posted here, but whatever.

All i'm gonna say is may Steve Irwin Rest In Peace.

[hey Whats Up Daniel]

I think It was an instant death. He got stung in the heart by a stingray. No way he was going to live.

[bigdeath]

Well the Initial pain had to be excrutiating. Also you live a little while after blood stops to circulate. At least 15 seconds.

Only other thing I would like to know is why he pulled the tail out so fast? Defensive reflex action? He seemed so diehard, wonder if he had a chance by leaving it in a little longer. Seems impossible considering they say he was pierced in the chest the size of your a pawn.



I too would like the time to say R.I.P. "Legend Steve Irwin"


He's now more immortal than when he was alive Ebay and thousands of new sites like this: http://www.mapbidz.com/awgmapsearch.cfm?...teve_irwin Whats's next action figures and comic books?
