Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter Dead - Michowski - 09-04-2006
just 6 hours ago the crocodile hunter was killed. He was filming some underwater shots and a sting ray stung him somewere on the chest and he almost instantly died. I cant believe this at all. That guy had an awesome show and I loved how he got so involved with the wild life.

Yes it is sad. I read the poisonos barb on their tail which can be 10" long stabbed him in the chest putting a hole in his heart. The poison isn't deadly it was the hole in his heart that killed him.....

His show is the only good show on Animal Planet.

I heard it is only the 3rd recorded death from a sting ray.
Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter Dead - rocco79 - 09-04-2006
no chit?
Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter Dead - Sh1nn3r - 09-04-2006
Sounds Fishy to me.

Stingrays have a serrated, toxin-loaded barb, or spine, on the top of their tail. The barb, which can be up to 10 inches long, flexes if a ray is frightened. Stings usually occur to people when they step on or swim too close to a ray and can be excruciatingly painful but are rarely fatal, said University of Queensland marine neuroscientist Shaun Collin.
That is from the link above. But that other fact is what I I heard on TV.
That is one hell of a shot from that sting ray to hit where it did. Just an inch in any direction and he would be in the hospital with a sore chest.

Totally unfortunate that this happened. The guy really had some great show and i did watch them when they are on. I was very surprised when i heard about it, I still cant believe it. The dude had some Ballz that only a few could have doing that type of stuff and risking his life like that. Really is sad.
