He died doing what he loved best though. He did alot for animal conservation and environmentalism and I hope his wife continues his work.

I thought it was a joke when I saw the headline It's so sad, and such an odd way to die. You'd think he would have been eaten by a croc or something. Rest in peace, Steve.

Yeah, I just saw a video of stingrays swimming around on CNN. They don't look *that* harmful. Are they poisonous? Sorry, I know very little about ocean animals.

I first saw this news on my myspace, when a friend of mine posted a bulletin. But I didn't believe it and thought it was just one of those phoney boloney bulletins. That is, until I went to yahoo and saw it there.
Man, i'm heart-broken. I loved watching Steve and he seemed so happy doing what he was doing. Its one of those "freak accidents" those that people say, you have a better chance winning the lottery and getting hit by lightning than getting killed by a stingray and he was just in the right position to get killed.
I believe that his wife will continue doing what Steve and her loved to do.
RIP Steve Irwin

Yeah...I was saddened by the news temporarily (honestly). My heart goes out to his wife and two children.
I agree - at least he died doing what he loved...

That's sad. I liked watching his adventures.
The death was ironic though: "It was extraordinarily bad luck. It's not easy to get spined by a stingray and to be killed by one is very rare," Collin said.
He worked with dangerous animals all the time that would very easily bite, but then to be taken by a rare freak accident... I feel terrible for his wife and kids.
