On September 4, 2006, shortly after 11:00 a.m. local time, Irwin was killed in a marine accident while filming an underwater documentary in the Batt Reef off the Low Isles near Port Douglas, north of Cairns, Queensland, Australia. It is believed that a stingray barb penetrated his chest, causing a fatal wound, though this has yet to be confirmed by Australian officials.

It's sad he brought much pleasure and education, but at least he died doing sometyhing he loved - imagine a man like Steve Irwin dying of old age unable to control his own bodily functions - that would have been much worse.

Do you think he blamed the animal?

Or did the family lie? Could this all be a cover-up for a heroin overdose?

What would Alex Jones say? Did Steve Irwin find bigfoot, and was the government trying to cover it up?

Who is going to find the stingray that killed Steve Irwin and put it on ebay?

You are part of the mystery.

I am personally dumbfounded. He just seemed invincible to me. He had this charismatic energy that just sucked you in. Steve Irwin was sort of like the Australian Chuck Norris. I've seen alot of facetious and un-neccessary posts on message boards all day and I think that they are pathetic. I usually joke around about stupid shit with friends and stuff, but today I've been in shock all day. God bless the Crocodile Hunter, his family and his friends...

I wonder when he got hit by the stingray did he know that was it.
He's been around so many poisonous animals in his career, do you think he recongized that he wasn't going to make it?

Shitty, the man fucking wrestles crocs and bitch slaps poisonous snakes and get's taken out by a swimming frizbee. I was snorkling and checkin out stingrays when I was in cancun.

It is sad. At least his family will have a good pension to live off of because of his untimley demise. I'm just glad that he was dead before he realized what happened. Cause insta-death really IS better then the slow painful process of snake poison, or being maimed by a croc that got the upper hand.

He was cool, it sucks that he died.

 insta-death really IS better then the slow painful process of snake poison, or being maimed by a croc that got the upper hand

From Wikipedia - 

 Contact with the stinger causes local trauma (from the cut itself), pain and swelling from the venom ... 

Treatment for stings includes hot water (as hot as the victim can stand), which helps ease pain and break down the venom, and antibiotics. Other possible pain remedies include papain (papaya extract, contained in unseasoned powdered meat tenderizer), which may break down the protein of the toxins, though this may be more appropriate for jellyfish and similar stings. Folklore incorrectly holds that one should urinate on the stung area; in actuality, urine and vinegar are not effective treatments. [1] Pain normally lasts up to 48 hours but is most severe in the first 30–60 minutes and may be accompanied by nausea, fatigue, headaches, fever and chills. 

I'm sure it was (relatively) quick, but I don't imagine it was particularly painless.

yep yep. And the stabbing along with the direct injection of toxins...as well as how long it takes for the human brain to die from lack of oxygen cause of no blood flow. I'd say he probably had time to think "Ah CRAP this hurts!"(or something to that effect) before he acctually died.

Maybe we really should just leave those animals alone.

I dont think that will change the poachers' minds about killing them.
