Adios, Crocodile Hunter...

I've seen this in three places already. Four counting the article you posted.
As I said before... Why do my heroes always die?!
 
i too have heard this multiple times today. Sad day.

Kinda ironic though when you think about it.. he worked with deadly creatures, and eventually... one killed him.

My god, it's like Grizzly Man all over again.

You don't often see such a classic example of a man doing what he was born to do. His adventures made for very entertaining television. I know I'll miss him.
Idiot dieing for not respecting the boundry between man and animal? I agree, just like grizzly man. Darwin at work. Its not ironic at all, really. Action, reaction.

That's not really ironic at all. You expect someone who works with deadly creatures to be killed.

A more ironic death would involve Irwin getting killed by a poacher while filming his show.

This is rather upsetting.. I'm mostly worried about my lil buddy up in Alaska who almost never missed his show.. Really, sad.. I really don't know what to say..

It's a damn shame that he was the had to be the second man in australia killed by a stingray had to be him. I was totally shocked to hear about it, especially as soon as I woke up and went downstairs to watch tv :( Although he was 44, he lived a damn full life, it's sad for the family as his children are so young.
 
The thing that makes his death ironic is that the animal that killed him is normally reguarded as harmless. It stung him in the heart out of fear... they say he probably died instantly.
 
I had always believd that the crazy guy would be killed by one of his beloved Crocs, but this--
Oh man, when I had tv, I'd watch him all the time. This is too sad for words. I just heard about it from my husband an hour ago. His poor wife and kids must be devestated.

It's pretty sad to be honest.

I didn't really think I liked him until he died, he was just an annoying stereotype, but suddenly now that he's dead I realise how entertaining he really was, I just feel sorry for his wife and children who now have to go on with life without him...

Awesome Bro

TMB - I thought that was the most ironic thing ever too! He cheats death with the world's most deadliest then gets killed by one of the usual harmless. It's like being killed by cotton wool when you've fought in 2 world wars. ( What? )

Well who could have guessed that a stingray could sting people. Well, you know, I'm not happy beacuse you can't really happy when someone dies. But it really doesn't change the fact that the man was a complete dick. Oh well, I suppose he's jambing his thumb up the asses of crocodiles in heaven now.

He could be talking about the real one, he did after all go slightly too far when he was playing about with his baby and a croc :/

Naw, the baby was safe- the man knew exactly what he was doing. Just like the Michael Jackson thing- the media blew them out of proportion.
