Irwin, the Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the 'Crocodile Hunter, has been killed by a stingray during a diving expedition. He was 44. According to Australian Associated Press, Irwin is believed to have been killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest. He was filming an underwater documentary off Port Douglas when the accident occurred says AAP. His American-born wife Terri was reported to be trekking in Tasmania at the time of the incident. My thoughts go out to his wife and young children.

Nuff respect.


shaaame, but didnt he died like last year ?! or smtg... i thought the accident was sometime ago...


ur an idiot. and obviously he didnt die last year if you watch the news. ur comment is just insensitive.


Solo, you fucking wank-face. So ignorant, like an american.


i agree!


so sad. i like his shows. ):


My thoughts go out to his wife and young children."Thoughts"? Spoken like a true secularist. Either you haven't the courage of conviction to say "prayer" or you don't believe in prayer. Which is it? And if you don't believe in the power of prayer, what mysterious power do you believe your "thoughts" have to bring comfort to Irwin's family. Do not fear; only believe.


After he had kids he shouldn't have kept doing such dangerous stuff...selfish. But this is the same guy who dangled his infant son in front of a crocodile for a publicity stunt a few years ago. I wonder if he had life insurance, what company would take on that risk. Very sad.


Such disrespect on this site...My thoughts are also with the family. Very sad.Terry is scheduled to be on Larry King tonight at 9pm EST.


Yea, it was very disrespectful for Irwin to dangle his baby in front of a crocodile.


the baby thing wasnt that bad, it looked worse than it actually did. just a sad day, the guy did a lot for animal awarness and prob saved thousands of animals around the world


TSRN1989 I LIVE IN AMERICA AND THE CROC HUNTER WAS AT TIMES A VERY MUCH JOY TO WATCH. HE WAS SUCH AN INTELAGENT MAN. IVE READ SOME OF THE NOTES FROM HIS HOMELAND AND MOST OF YOU PEOPLE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES FOR THINGS YOU SAID. YOU ARE ALIVE AND REALLY DONT DESERVE TO BE AND HE IS DEAD AND REALLY SHOULDNT BE AND DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE.GOD BLESS YOU TERRI AND YOUR BABIES.HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AT TIMES..WE LIVE IN NW FLORIDA EGLIN AFB.VERY PLEASED TO HAVE HAD YOU IN OUR AREA FEW YEARS BACK.
