Crocodile Hunter Was Killed

[TaylorHicksRocks]

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the ``Crocodile Hunter,'' was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, Australian media said. He was 44. Police confirmed the story early Monday.

Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state when the accident occurred, Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site.

The Australian Broadcasting Corp. said Irwin was diving near Low Isles Reef near the resort town of Port Douglas, about 1,260 miles north of the state capital of Brisbane.

Queensland ambulance service spokesman Bob Hamil confirmed that a diver had been killed by a stingray off Lowe Isles Reef but refused to say who the victim was until relatives had been notified.

A rescue helicopter was sent from the nearby city of Cairns, and paramedics from it confirmed the diver's death.

``The probable cause of death is stingray strike to the chest,'' Hamil said.

Staff at Australia Zoo, Irwin's zoo in southern Queensland, said they had heard the reports but could not comment.

Irwin is famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchcry ``Crikey!'' in his television program ``Crocodile Hunter,'' which was first broadcast in Australia in 1992 and has aired around the world on the Discovery channel.

He rode his image into a feature film, and developed the Australia Zoo as a tourist attraction.

Irwin had received some negative publicity in recent years. In January 2004, he stunned onlookers at the Australia Zoo reptile park by carrying his 1-year-old son into a crocodile pen during a wildlife show. He tucked the infant under one arm while tossing the 13-foot reptile a piece of meat with the other.

Authorities declined to charge Irwin for violating safety regulations.

Later that year, he was accused of getting too close to penguins, a seal and humpback whales in Antarctica while making a documentary. Irwin denied any wrongdoing, and an Australian Environment Department investigation recommended no action be taken.

Irwin was also seen as a vocal critic of wildlife hunts in Australia. The federal government recently dropped plans to allow crocodile safaris for wealthy tourists in the Northern Territory following his vehement objections.

Irwin told the Australian television program ``A Current Affair'' that ``killing one of our beautiful animals in the name of trophy hunting will have a very negative impact on tourism, which scares the living daylights out of me.''

He is survived by his American wife Terri, from Oregon, and their daughter Bindi Sue, 8, and son Bob, who will turn 3 in December.


This is soooo sad I think Steve Irwin was a very brave man!:pi_cry:

[lucy]

Awful!
It sounds like they are calling it a freak accident.
His poor family.
He took a lot of risks in his life, but that seems to be what made him happy.
I just hate those children growing up without him.

That is exactly what I was thinking.........

[lizzyj]

That is so sad. We need to pray for the family.

[RushDog]

It's all fun and games until a stingray pierces your heart. I'm gonna miss that big lug.

[aztecgoods]

Yeah that sucked, he was a great guy and I was really sad about this. I know he took alot of chances but I guess at least he went out the way he probably wanted it (doing what he loved). I have heard conflicting reports on his death, one report was that he just chanced by a stingray in the sand and was hovering over it when he scared it and it stung him (he didn't know it was there). The other report was that he was riding a 3 foot one when the camera man was in front of them and scared the stingray into thinking he was trapped and stung him. Be curious to hear what really happend.

[MusicLover]

When I found out, I was in shock. Then I was watching Animal Planet last night, and they were doing a tribute show to Steve, and I bawled like a baby. I've been watching him and his family grow on TV for years now. Even though I've never met him, I feel like I know them all. It's awful.

The stingray was between him and the cameraman and felt trapped so it stung Steve. Steve pulled the stinger out of his chest and immediately died. They caught it all on camera. He was pronounced dead almost instantly. If it hadn't pierced his heart... stingrays are rarely fatal... :pi_cry:

I held my son last night as he cried.....It was such a sad story. I wish he had been able to live longer and see his children grow up. Life is always an unknown.:pi_cry:

[aztecgoods]

I couldn't believe I was as sad as I was about it for I normally don't give a rats %$# about celebs, but I was really really upset about him. He was such an awesome guy and a very unique personality. I don't know why, I know its awful, can't imagine how he felt having a barb go into his heart. I have to think though that he did take a lot of chances even though he did know what he was doing, but animals are all at least to a certain extent unpredictable. I'll never forget him or his death.

[froggiegurl]

this is a really sad and tragic thing. he will be missed by all. he died doing something he loved though... being with animals

[obenix]

I was shocked when I learnt about Steve's death.
I loved his shows and would definitely miss him. Rest in Peace.

[aztecgoods]

I was watching an old croc hunter episode yesterday and was just reminded of the kind of chances Steve took, I loved the guy, but he really did do some pretty dumb stuff in my opinion. He was sticking his hand inside a tiny crevace to grab a pretty large lizard, well he couldn't see into the crevace could only reach, of course the lizard bit him and nearly took his finger off. He was gushing blood and had it coming all down his hand and arm in about 2 minutes. As much as I really loved the guy after seeing that I was just reminded of the chances he took and realized it really always was probably just a matter of time before he took one chance too many and got hisself into a fatal situation. I'm not sure if the stingray incident was his fault, but the guy probably would have gotten killed sooner or later with the kind of crazy chances he took. Not that it makes me feel any better about his death but at least it makes me realize it was probably pretty expected to happen eventually.

[TaylorHicksRocks]

It still does not make it any easie especcially for the young ones that grew up watching Steve.......My son cried a lot he heard the news.....

[RushDog]

....My son cried a lot he heard the news.....

It's always hard on a kid when somebody they look up to dies. Especially if they die early. I was in third grade when Elvis died, and I bawled my guts out. I remember when my mom woke me up and told me John Lennon was shot, I didn't even go to school that day, I was so depressed.

I remember when Elvis died my mom was so undertanding she said "Why are you cryng over dead meat?" The cold heartless b*&#@!

[MusicLover]

Yikes, THR... That's pretty cold. I think a mom saying something like that can really scar a kid... I'm sorry you had to hear that. ((HUGS))

We had a strained relationship.....she only saw my son two time's and we had to go to where she was. The 1st time was at my grandparents and the 2nd was my brother's wedding. Both times Jonathon didn't want to talk to her. Or sit on her lap. You know what they say about children and their instincts.

I think that's the first time I've seen you cuss.

[TaylorHicksRocks]

I think that's the first time I've seen you cuss.

I don't like to cuss. It's not a good example. But let's face facts she is what sheis or was. She passed away in January of 2000. I tried to go to her funeral but my body was a mass of muscles that were in knots. My mom cussed alot and she henpecked my dad. I learned how to be a lady by her example. I do the opposite. I don't know what else to say.......

Did you have another role model to follow?

[TaylorHicksRocks]

Did you have another role model to follow?

I had my Grandmothers and my Godmother...also friends mom's and the Mom's o the children I babysat......They were also my souding board. I think I would have gone crazy if I did not have them to talk to because my mom did not know how to parent. We were not allowed to eat breakfast in the morning or shower in the morning both would wake her up. She would lock the refrigerator at night (side by side) with a bike chain and go out to the bars and drink. My dad worked away from alot so he was not aware. My older brother would steal food to feed us because my mom was not taking care of us. I used to call her Mommy Dearest just to tick her off. I would tell myself you don't have it that bad there is always someone out there who has it worse.......I watched learned what not to do. I don't tell my son he is stupid! I have never beat him with a belt or a telephone cord, or anything else for that matter! I believe in positive reinforcement. When he says his hand writing is terrible I tell him that's alright have you ever tried to read a Dr's hand writing. My mother in law told him I'll give you 10 dollars if you do better and my husband said I am going to take your play station away....Jonathon Liked mine the best.

[MusicLover]

Yeah, THR, I can totally relate to you on the "Mom" thing. My Mom would go grocery shopping and put all the "good" food in her room and lock the door. She'd burn water. Never tried to cook. She was always smoking pot. So (and my brother will tell you this himself to this day) I pretty much raised my little bro and myself (my dad was a truck driver). When I was in first and second grades, I would wake up at 5 am, watch the news (I know, right?!), get ready for school, fix Brian's and my lunch for school (Usually a potted meat sandwich was all we had, unless I did chores for my grandma and got a couple dollars, then I'd make her take me to a store and I'd get us little debbie cakes and drinks), get Brian up and ready for school, go crank Mama's car so it could warm up, and then wake her up so she could take us to school. By age 7, I was cleaning the house and cooking dinner for us. If we ever got hungry, I had to open a can of corn or greenbeans. I remember one time, Mama had not paid the water bill and it got cut off. Brian was crying because he was thirsty (there was nothing else to drink in the house). I asked Mama if I could go next door and get a pitcher of water, and she got sooooo mad at me and snapped, "If you're that thirsty, open your mouth and I'll pee in it, you brat!" (And the list goes on and on...)

I know I'll never be like that as a mother. I'm like you, THR, I learned how NOT to be a mother from my own Mom. It's a hard way to learn, but my children will benefit from it. The only conflict now is that Jamie and I aren't gonna want to leave our children alone with my mom (Unless Daddy is home) and Jamie's Mom is great. I see a HUGE jealousy issue there. Also, THR, my mom has severe Chronic-progressive MS and she falls a lot. I'd feel really uncomfortable leaving a baby with my mom for that reason, too. If she can't stay on her own feet, I'd TERRIFIED to have her walking around with our baby. Plus, I don't want her poisoning my childrens' minds like she tried to do ours.

I Understand, I would not leave my child alone with her even if she didn't have MS. My husband and I moved 1800 miles away before starting our family! My sister stayed in the area of course she is bi-polar and her daughter was born and my mom was thr taking video. My sister's boyriend moved 2000 miles away. My mom took her teeth out of her mouth and tried to put them in Danielle's mouth.....disgusting. Anyway it's one of them situations where you and I can relate. We both know ow difficult life can be with a person who would rather party. I grew up in San Antonio and my grandmothes were in Minnesota, when we would go or the summer my mom would not pack enough clothes for us so my mom's mom would Always take us shopping for new clothes. She is what I always aspired to be like. Warm, giving, compasionate, loving, a good cook, supportive, a Christian, she was always there for us!! All her grandchildren. My mom was a Christian at least I think she was. She went to church on Sundays and if we went into dead bolted bedroom where she kept the snacks we would have to write these Bible verses for her about stealing. She is gone now almost 7 years and I don't miss her, I do miss my Grandmothers. Who am I to say that my mom is not in Heaven my cousin had this theory that all mom's went to Heaven because they were mom's.

[RushDog]

It's amazing how both of you have turned out to be such wonderful people in spite of your mothers. My parents weren't quite as bad. They weren't exactly Ozzie & Harriet either. Both of them are alcoholics, and they fought alot. My dad was very abusive towards me, and my mom just kinda let it happen. Although, she'd get very abusive when she drank. I remember when I was in 4th grade, and he put a big ol' bruise in my back for getting a "D" on a test. Then there was the time my mom poured dish soap in my mouth because I lied. We never had much because my dad hardly worked, and my mom didn't make much on her secretary's salary. Plus, she had to pay my dad's child support for his two other kids. My grandparents were my role models. If it wasn't for them, I probably wouldn't have made it. I used to spend as much time with them as I possibly could. I used to love going camping with them. My grandpa was my role model. He was very God-fearing and although he was very quiet, he would let you know when you screwed up. I joined the Air Force right out of high school, basically to get away from my parents and to get some stability in my life. We actually get along alot better now. Although, I really don't like being around my mom when she's drinking, because she gets real mean and bitchy. My dad has mellowed out alot ever since his heart attack a few years ago. He's nothing like the guy I knew when I was a kid. He's turned out to be a very kind and gentle person. My daughters always tell me, "Daddy, I wish I had normal grandparents." I tell them, "Well, I wished I had normal parents, when I was growing up."

My mom knew both of her brothers were molesting me and she didn't do anything to stop it... I was 5.

Wow what happened to our parents? My mom would pour dish soap down my mouth as well that or tobassco (sp?) sauce for telling a lie. My Aunt Susie married a man that was very abusive when he drank I was staying with them one summer in Iowa when he got so angry he pushed her head thru a wall. Here I am 13 with my little cousins 3, 2, and a baby and my Uncle is saying to the kids what are you going to do ow I have just killed your mom! I knew my Susie (that is what I have always called her) was still alive. She had to do that so her husband would stop hitting her. Well anyway now they are divorced an they are on good terms but live in different parts of the country. When My Susie goes to visit her children her ex alwasgives her money o takes her out to eat. He is such a gentleman. My Susie is my mom's baby sister. She was tortured by my mom before I was. We are like sister's talk everyday! My sister that lives next door says she is the lucky one because she was adopted. She reminds me of my mom. At my cousins "Celebration" this summer she wanted to embarrass my son he was 9 so she started to tease him about wet dreams. I was so angry I refuse to leave Jonaton alone with her. I am so ready to move! My Susie wants me to move closer to her.

[MusicLover]

I don't know what's up with parents. My friends all thought my mom was soooo cool b/c when they'd come over, she'd sit and let them smoke pot with her. I eventually stopped inviting anyone over. I was mortified. She flirted with all my dates (She's only 16 years older than me...). Truly embarrassing.

[MusicLover]

At my cousins "Celebration" this summer she wanted to embarrass my son he was 9 so she started to tease him about wet dreams.

I would have slapped the b!tch. That's cruel. :mad:

[TaylorHicksRocks]

I thought so too.......it wasn't the time or the place.

[RushDog]

My mom knew both of her brothers were molesting me and she didn't do anything to stop it... I was 5.

When I hear things like that I just want to hurt somebody really bad. That's why when my first wife and I divorced, I pushed hard for custody of my daughter. When we were separated, I found out that she allowed her live in boyfriend to spank my daughter, who was two at the time. I went over there and got her and never brought her back. I made sure no man would ever lay a hand on her ever again. She's 13 now, and she's turned out to be a wonderful kid. She's an honor roll student, and a great athlete. I always go out of my way to be the best dad I can be. I'm a much better father than I am a husband. LOL!

[TaylorHicksRocks]

My mom knew both of her brothers were molesting me and she didn't do anything to stop it... I was 5.

I agree with Rush. That is terrible. How can you trust you mom again after she would let something like that happen. At least when I was 8 years old and I asked my mom how do you play the game called making love? She asked me where did I hear about that game I told her Greg our babysitter he was 16. My parents did not go out that night and Greg and his parents came over and the had a long talk. I told them how we would have pillow fights and I didn't like where his fingers ended up. Greg and his family moved away 2 days later. His dad was in the Air Force. Who knows where the went to......

I suppose that was God's plan also.......

At least thankfully Steve was in her life for a while and it looks like it meant the world to her. I think she's going to go on and do great things like her father did.

[RushDog]

Yes, it was all part of God's plan, and I'm glad you finally realized that.

[Kat4Ever]

Yes, it was all part of God's plan, and I'm glad you finally realized that.

I wonder if you're children would be saying that if you passed away tomorrow.

Of course personally I think it would be funny when that happens if God laughed at you for your hypocrisy and sent you straight to the same place that you seem to wish that half the world would end up.

You're honestly a sick man, Rush. Sick, perverted and twisted.

How DARE you act all high and mighty at a time when a wife and 2 kids have lost their father.

You are the epitome of a religious fanatic.. and I'm sorry for everyone here that thinks that's a good thing, because it's not.

By definition fanatic means:

A person marked or motivated by an extreme, unreasoning enthusiasm, as for a cause.

enthusiast, zealot, bigot, hothead, militant.

Fanatic and zealot both suggest excessive or overweening devotion to a cause or belief. Fanatic further implies unbalanced or obsessive behavior: a wild-eyed fanatic. Zealot, only slightly less unfavorable in implication than fanatic, implies single-minded partisanship

Of course if that's how you want to classify yourself.. as unbalanced.. and unreasoning... hey, be my guest.

[RushDog]

I was just reiterating what you just said. Sheesh! I thought you'd be happy about that. There's no need to get your panties ruffled. Why Rich, does this mean we're not friends? I don't know if my heart can bear it, big guy! :rolleyes: Maybe you should ask your mommy what she thinks, and you can tell us about it.

I have to agree with Rush that it was all part of God's plan. We go when it is our time and God does not give us more than we can handle. Yes we grieve. Yes we are in pain. I can tell you that the pain Steve's wife feel's is worse than that of a woman without children. She looks at her children and cries because of everything they will miss. Such as Dad walking his daughter down the isle on her wedding day. The birth of grandchildren and so much more. Right now the children are still children. They have cried but have moved on and want to go back to their favorite activities...well at least this part was my experience. My son was 8 when his daddy died suddenly he cried for a couple days. Missed a week of school then wanted to go back. I got a call from the school to pick him up because they were making father's day presents. He missed almost another week. But when he went back he was fine. Wanted his sleepovers again. Going to the movies. I do worry about his teenage years. But so far his grades are all A's. He is back to acting.....

[RushDog]

I have to agree with Rush that it was all part of God's plan.

God knows when and how we're going to die before we're even born.

[TaylorHicksRocks]

God knows when and how we're going to die before we're even born.

You are absolutely correct!!! It is just difficult on those that are left behind...

Maybe through his death, someone else got saved. Maybe through his death, his wife can help someone else who goes through the same thing. You can't see everything K4E, you don't know the divine plan of God. You only reticule it.

My mommy does love me. She gets down on her knees and hugged me. She loved me like a rock. She loved me like a rock of ages, she loved me. She loved me, loved me, loved me, loved me.

Did yall hear that Russel Crowe is working on doing a movie about Steve with him playing Steve. I think thats great, Russel is a great actor, I loved him in gladiator, hes' had some issues, but what actor hasn't. Plus hes' an aussie, Should be an oscar potential maybe.

Wow, they aren't wasting any time exploiting his life/death, are they? I wonder how the family feels about it... It's still very fresh for Terri and the kids. I saw Terri on "Good Morning America" today, and she could hardly talk without breaking up. She's lost weight and looks stricken. Poor woman. I think it would be a good idea to at least wait a while out of respect.

If they do the movie, I think all proceeds should go to Steve's conservation efforts and to the Australia Zoo...

I think it will take at least a couple of years to make a good movie. They have to have a good script..then they have to film and with Russell Crowe he expects nothing but perfection!
