I guess this how people felt when Houdini died.

Damn, I just realized I didn't have school tommorrow and got on my comp to play graw and yahoo news just hit me with it straight in the face.

Rest in peace Crocodile Hunter, rest in peace.......

Oh wow...This guy was really a legend. I hate hearing news like this.

I guess it's to be expected that he died doing what he loved - that is, putting himself in dangerous situations because of his love of animals. The guy was a nut, but I can respect him.

[BioAlien]

It appeared that he was killed by a sting-ray barb that went through his chest

wow, i didn't know those creature could kill.

poor guy, well, like Xan said, at least he died doing what he loved to do.

[6Zabuza9]

i liked him but this is sad. i thought he was invincible

[zibo]

FU*K ! I loved his show, I used to watch them all the time, it was one of the best shows on animals, too bad there will be no more of them

Rest In Peace Steve.

wow, well we are all mortals after all, this just remind us of that fact. After handling black mambas, crocodile and various different species of animal. It was a stingray that killed him. At first i thought this was one sick joke, but then i went to CNN and read the story. Shit I never thought sting-rays cold kill, heck i even played with a few. Damn what a way to go.

I use to make fun of this guy and marvel at what he has accomplished and was doing. He was a man that deserved respect and will be missed.

Steve Erwin, god speed and good bye.

[Winged Dancer]

Wow.....

I mean, seriously, I thought this guy was pretty much eternal. I once joked that he had probably sold his soul to the devil or something - you can't out-speed a crocodile and be human.

This is shocking. Everything about it. How he died and just that he's dead... it's just very very shocking.

Then again, he wasn't the guy you'd expect to die of old age. Perhaps we all saw it coming. It doesn't make it any better. Rest in Peace, Steve Irwin, may you have a nice afterlife.

He got stung through the heart. Pretty unlucky, eh? Hopefully his wife will keep doing the Crocodile Hunter series.

Shit I never thought sting-rays cold kill, heck i even played with a few.

Some can hurt you, some can't.

Well I know I used to go to places that allowed you to play with the underwater creatures and along with them were stingrays, however I believe most of those had their stingers removed so it's safe.

[gr3atfull]

wow, i didn't know those creature could kill.

Same here.


It is really sad that he died, he was young.

And I tought that it was impossible for him to die by an animal.Its funny he didnt die from a crododile but from a stingray.

[Knives122]

Wow, this is a suprise(like Eddie Gurero dying suprising). Like most of you I thought he was invincible or at least would be killed by a more itimidating animal.

I'm running out of people to like in the animal saving world, all that's left is Jeff Corwin <_<.

I guess I'll watch his show today as a sendoff, R.I.P you crazy son of a bitch.

Dude, you know Jeff Corwin was behind this somehow. The fight for ratings and whatnot...

Also, you really know you're a geek when you consider this 4chan post to be a moving eulogy:



Seriously though, he deserves to be up there with the likes of Chuck Norris in his levels of badassitude. The guy took on snakes, sharks, crocs, and other seriously dangerous animals without batting an eye. I'm sure his encounter with the stingray must have been one seriously epic battle.
