View Full Version : Steve Irwin Dead
http://newsfeed.tcm.ie/images/people/steveirwin.jpg
Steve Irwin has died at the age of 44 after being stung on his chest by a deadly Stingray. He was filming a documentary under water here in the coast of Queensland at the time of his death. He was an Australian attraction and icon. He was known as the Crocodile Hunter. I know he cheated death many times; unfortunately he wasn't lucky this time.
It's truly a loss for Australia and his fans. My sincere condolences to his family and two adorable children.

No one can cheat death, it's just a matter of time and nothing to do with luck.
So he is the one in discovery channel.

Dude, it's an expression. It means that he was exposing himself to dangers which were life threatening all the time. I know no one can cheat death :rolleyes:

Dark Project 04-09-06, 04:46 PM First rule ! even if you are professional .. Never play with wild animals or fish .. I guess his time was over ... rest in peace buddy
fatamooo 04-09-06, 05:29 PM OH!!! When I read the name I thought it couldn't possibly be him - the guy has escaped so many times!! Oh well, I have a feeling he didn't wanna leave lying in a bed surrounded by wires and stuff. That guy has had quite an amazing life - but 44 is so young :( Allah yir7amo
such a shame..I've seen many shows on him catching huge snakes and crocodiles. May he rest in peace.
BliNd_MelOn 05-09-06, 12:08 PM sh!t.. Ive watched something about him a while back..

May he rest in peace

tiarathrones 05-09-06, 11:38 PM I wonder if they will be auditioning for the next crocodile hunter. If its in plan, I suggest it be a reality tv show! :)
R.I.P Irwin!
Tiny Heart 05-09-06, 11:47 PM i remember i used 2 watch some of his shows...
well, that's life..... no 1 lives 4 eva...
I read bout his death in today's Times if Oman...
Oh well, I have a feeling he didn't wanna leave lying in a bed surrounded by wires and stuff.
It happens so often that I read something fatamooo writes and I think, "Wait...that's what I was just going to say!!!"
Or sometimes, "That's right! I wish I'd thought of that..."
Pablo Escobar 06-09-06, 12:27 PM Such a big loss..this guy was a genius I feel sorry for his wife and their cute duaghter..
5alfanooh 06-09-06, 12:48 PM i knew he's dead the same afternoon where one in the class jumped n was like Steve irwin died! they just love him here n thinks of him as a symbol that represents australia!
DeSerTDesTroYeR 06-09-06, 04:10 PM May be rest in peace, I've seen a couple of his shows. And I think a movie with him in it as well.
Kamakazy 10-09-06, 03:38 PM I have seen many of his shows, and his enthusiastic way of getting the animal to the camera is amazing... he was so into his wild life... and would make kids as well as adults hooked on the TV when he is on…
The video of his death is still not released... there is a debate whether to release it or not... if anyone has found it, please let me know…
Sting Rays are not known to attack humans, it was just his time to go... so sad...
Superbia 10-09-06, 05:40 PM ^^^ yeah sting rays normally eat on smaller fish !! weird that it killed him :S ?!?!?!!
Pablo Escobar 10-09-06, 06:02 PM It was a freak accident very few that died of sting rays..Its just his time may he rest in peace.
sunmoon 10-09-06, 11:25 PM May he rest in peace! Saw him last Janauary at the sunshine coast park! He was a down to earth person... :(
The poor guy got stung right in the heart. It wasn't his day I guess. 2 or 3 inches away from where he got stung, he would be saying something like:
"Ohh Am I not so Lucky Mate? The stingray was just defending itself!"
I liked the guy. :(
its really sad! animal planet will never be the same again! (some of u might already know im addicted 2 the stuff :love:) he's 1 of the gr8est wild life experts there ever was
would just like 2 correct the bit lym said abt how he died. he didnt die from the venom of the stingray, he died bcuz the ray shot its "tail" straight up, as a form of defense, & tht stabbed him right thru & punctured his heart. & as kamakazy said, stingrays dont attack humans, they never attack anything apart from prey unless they feel threatened.. (tht's not 2 say tht Irwin was trying 2 kill it or anything....)

Errr, where did I say that he died because of a stingray's venom? I merely said he was stung by a deadly stingray which is true as your described it, it pierced his heart straight away, but I didn't say anything about his venom. However, according to the reports in Australia, it was a poisonous black stingray that is concentrated around the stingray's tail.
You know, EEEEEEVERYTHING is Australia is POISONOUS.
This is a dangerous country, Omanis...
Every year, they get the "most poisonous" award.
Even the PLATYPUS is poisonous, for heaven's sake! Does he look poisonous?

No, right? But, wallahi, he is POISONOUS!
Poor Steve, I agree, he was a nice guy and I liked him, too. But the sting ray was probably hired by all those crocodiles that Steve embarrassed by chasing them. They are the only thing in Australia that is NOT poisonous...
Meticulousness 13-09-06, 03:53 PM You don't mess around with dangerous animals and laugh. Frankly, the whole world knew he'd die from his actions sooner or later!
fatamooo 14-09-06, 05:07 AM They are the only thing in Australia that is NOT poisonous...
Now THAT is what I call irony...!
I used to like him until when i saw his picture feeding a crocodile with one hand and while his other hand he was carrying his baby of just few months old (maybe 4-5 months old)!
He was not afraid of anything..
He knew that one day he was going to die while working. I hope his wife will not continue with this proffesion considering their kids.
At least he died doing something that he enjoys!
His daughter Belinda or Bendy of 5 I think, has her own show already with wild life animals. The documentary he was shooting was for her show. His wife and daughter are wild life enthusiasts. I doubt they will stop especially that they own the Australian Zoo.
