Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin dead
04 September 2006  

BREAKING NEWS: 4.40pm
Television personality and environmentalist Steve Irwin has died in a marine accident in north Queensland, Australian state government sources say.


According to AAP the 44-year-old is believed to have been killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest.

He was filming an underwater documentary off Port Douglas when the accident occurred says AAP.

Mr Irwin's body was being flown to Cairns.



Cripes! I often swim around some very large stingrays when I go fishing near our place (I never try to catch rays... they break your rod).

Kinda sad really, I visited australia zoo when I was a teen before he became 'famous'. The guy was quite active in wildlife preservation without being annoying like a peta-tard.

The only reason this is a big story is that EVERYONE who's watched him has wondered when it'd finally happen.
