Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter is Dead?

[eppie]

So says various sources on Google news.

He was killed by a stingray while doing a diving documentary.

How sad. :(

I just read it in the paper here as well.
Truly sad, I was a big fan of that guy. I wish all the best to his wife and children.
I was just thinking that stingray usually don't wound people fatally but apparantly he was stung in the heart.
The world needs more people like him that find a way to educate people about nature in a way that attracts everybody.
On a side note. If you can use these terms, he died a heroes dead, doing what he liked most.
