I really liked this guys programs .. complete nutter!

Steve Irwin, the ebullient Australian TV personality and conservationist known as the Crocodile Hunter, has been killed by a stingray barb to the heart during a diving expedition.

Irwin, 44, was filming an underwater sequence for a television series on remote Batt Reef off the far north-east coast of Australia when he encountered the ray and was stung, Australia Zoo, Irwin's park, said in a statement.

Crew members aboard Irwin's boat, Croc One, called emergency services in the nearest city, Cairns, and administered cardio pulmonary resuscitation techniques as they rushed the boat to nearby Low Isle to meet a rescue helicopter.

Medical staff pronounced Irwin dead, the statement said.

"The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet," John Stainton, Irwin's friend and producer who was on board Croc One said in the statement.

thanks for that scruffy , you reminded me of how he was and his sense of humour , im sure hed laugh at that ,its a great shame to see such an ebulient spirit end so prematurely ,but he certainly did contribute a hell of a lot to wild life research and preservation too.robert.

Yep, proper shame.

did anyone see the film he did? pure comedy!

also I was at a gig last night, and the band dedicated the set to the guy at the back of the pub.... who was the spitting image of Steve Irwin, poor guy went brick red, was bloody funny though.

A sad loss to be sure...

I always watched Irwin in amazment at the stuff he did, seemed a really nice guy who just loved what he did. Its the first time anyone has been killed by a stingray since 1945 i believe!! Thoughts go out to his friends and family.

RIP Stevo.

1st to provide proof of a running Bimmy Conversion!

Brisbane ,Australia

His wildlife park is only an hour or so up the road from me & my girlfriend goes there every chance she can, just totally loves him... I think we all see & feel a bit of him in all of us , well ,maybe just some of us.

& not meaning any bad taste here but there`s allready jokes comming out, like maybe he should have worn his sunglasses to protect him from those harmfull Rays

& such

RIP man, the entire world loves you & allways will.
