Crocodile Hunter Dies Filming Underwater Show
Written by: Juanchito
Steve Irwin, the TV presenter known as the “Crocodile Hunter,” has died after being stung by a stingray in a marine accident off Australia’s north coast.
Media reports say Irwin was diving in waters off Port Douglas, north of Cairns, when the incident happened on Monday morning.
Irwin, 44 was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest, according to Cairns police sources. Irwin was filming an underwater documentary at the time.
This was some really sad news that I came across last night before I went to bed. I loved watching the crocodile hunter. When I was in college and had cable there were 2 cable stations that I fell in love with. One was CMT and the other was Animal Planet. Faith Hill is the reason I loved CMT. Steve Irwin made me fall in love with Animal Planet.
He’ll be missed. It will be interesting to see what happens with his legacy. The animal world lost a friend with the death of Steve Irwin.
