I read that earlier and was a bit shocked. Then I was shocked that I was shocked. That guy's been dancing on the edge for years...

Still quite sad. No doubt he loved his work...we should all be so enthusiastic.

R.I.P., Steve.

Wow...that is a shocker! Sorry to hear too.

Once more...."Crikey!"

And that he wasn't killed by an animal that he was playing with at the time is a bit interesting. But he was in the middle of shooting something called "The Ocean's Most Dangerous Animals".

Destiny underscored. It's very rare to be killed by a stingray's sting but this one got him up and under the ribcage, through the heart. Ouch. And crikey to the nth. R.I.P.

It's sad to hear about Steve Irwin passing like that, but I wonder if he ever felt that he would engage death by the animals he loved?
Animal Planet... Discovery Channel... and TLC have pulled all of his shows for the time being... maybe till after the funeral.

They pulled his shows?!?! Wow. That's the exact opposite of what I would have done. I'd put more of his stuff on, celebrate his life and champion his causes. I'm quite sure that's what he would have wanted.

I agree with you Brian....I can't believe he's gone.....his poor family.

The world has lost a beautiful soul. Cry

Despite his sometimes annoying sayings....I loved that guy and his shows. He did one show I saw with gorrillas that was amazing. He was a master with animals. May he rest in peace.

my kids were devastated by the news. he will be sorely missed round our house. A number of years ago i was approached to do "the Crocodile Hunter voice" for a client. I passed muster with a friends kids in Sydney, first and then the client. Smile

Irwin was chastised a bit for "overdoing the Aussie thing" but when I spoke to another friend in Sydney he said
