Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin killed

BRISBANE, Australia - Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the Crocodile Hunter, was killed Monday by a stingray barb during a diving expedition, Australian media reported. He was 44.

The accident happened while Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state, Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site.

The paper and other Australian media reporting the death cited police or state government sources.

Telephone calls to Australia Zoo, Irwin's zoo in southern Queensland, were not immediately answered.

God bless him, I knew nothing , till now of the stingrays barb????????

I swam with a ray almost 30 years ago in the waters off Catalina Island, it was peaceful I am blown away being near it I would have never imagined it was so deadly I could have reached out and touched it but was afraid (must have been a hard wired thing) ...what I don't know I have never heard....... Feel stupid as shit! Sting ray should have been a clue to me????

That seems like such an unlikely way for a guy like that to go. Of all things a sting ray??? He must have gotten extremely unlucky. Very, very sad.

Didn't say yesterday how he was killed by the stingray, but I guess he was stabbed in the heart from it. So upsetting.
