Steve Irwin (1962-2006)

Postby Zep on Mon Sep 04, 2006 10:18 am

In the early afternoon of 4 September 2006, Irwin was fatally pierced in the chest by a stingray barb off the Great Barrier Reef in Australia while filming an underwater documentary.

Shortly after 11:00 a.m. local time (01:00 UTC), Irwin was filming in the Low Isles near Port Douglas, north of Cairns, Queensland, Australia, where he was stung either through his heart [7] or through the left side of his chest[8] and suffered cardiac arrest. [9] After he was stung, his crew called for medical help and the Queensland Rescue Helicopter responded, taking him to Cairns Base Hospital.[10] However, Irwin was immediately pronounced dead at the scene.[11] The Queensland Police Service notified his family and released a statement for the media concerning the event. Ironically Irwin was known for handling dangerous animals, but stingrays rarely attack humans.

Whole discussion going on about this sad news on my mistress forum.

Seems he got stabbed through the heart by this animal which was very very very unlucky since the last person to be killed by one was in 1945.

He'll be missed as a conservationist and entertainer by many. :(
