Hope this is not too late... for it has occured at least 24 hours ago...
This is an abstract from an online news portal"World-famous Australian "crocodile hunter" and television environmentalist Steve Irwin has been killed by a stingray blow to the heart while filming a new documentary.
The larger-than-life Irwin, 44, known for his fearlessly enthusiastic handling of even the deadliest of wildlife, was killed when a stingray barb punctured his chest during underwater filming on the Great Barrier Reef.
"He came over the top of a stingray and the stingray's barb went up and went into his chest and put a hole into his heart," said the ebullient Irwin's longtime producer John Stainton, who was with him at the time."
This message was sent to me by a msn contact:
This is a recent "campaign" held in rememberence of Steve Irwin.
This all you have to do:
As a sign of respect for the Australian tural icon, please place a turtle ( tu ) at the start of your name
Basically, I feel that this is a great loss. He has done so much, but yet, the most people could do was to watch his programmes...seems like I will never get to meet him in person again...
What's important, is that he left the world doing what he loved doing, although his death was sudden and ironic.It's also sad to hear that he left behind his young kids and wife, who still have a long way to go together...
Steve Irwin
1962-2006
Australian Icon who risked his life to enrich mankind with the wonders of nature.
