cant beleive i just read Steve *the crocadile hunter* Irwin has died
he was a legend
from the ninemsn news page
Steve Irwin killed in freak accident
Monday Sep 4 14:00 AEST
By ninemsn staff writers
Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" Irwin is dead after being attacked by a stingray during the filming of a new TV series.
The 44-year-old's heart is believed to have been pierced by the stingray barb.
He was filming an underwater documentary at the Batt Reef about 32 nautical miles off Port Douglas when the accident occurred.
According to a Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman, a Cairns ambulance chopper made an emergency flight to an island in the area just after 11am today.
An intensive care doctor and a paramedic attempted to revive the popular crocodile wrangler without success.
He was pronounced dead on the island, and his body is now being flown to Cairns.
Mr Irwin - known worldwide as the Crocodile Hunter - is famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchcry "Crikey!".
The father of two's Crocodile Hunter program was first broadcast in 1992 and has been shown around the world on cable network Discovery.
He's also starred in movies and has developed the Australia Zoo wildlife park, north of Brisbane, which was started by his parents Bob and Lyn Irwin
RIP Steve

Crikey, thats a bit of a shock. He was always so energetic and full of life.
While his advertisements for various things were a little irritating he did plenty of good things for this country and gets my respect.
Prayers go out to his wife and two kids.
In memory I'm only wearing King Gee shorts for rest of the week.
