Yes this is just coming through in Australia too.

A string ray barb went through his chest whilst filming an underwater documentary.

Whilst I was never a fan, and he really did put himself at risk a lot, it's sad for his wife and young children - any loss and death of someone so young is tragic.

It's sad that the wee ones won't have a dad in their lives, but I think if he had to go, this is the way he would want togo.


Since you said that he died whilst filming, is there any chance we might get the chilling footage?  nervous

SYDNEY, Australia (CNN) -- Steve Irwin, the Australian TV presenter known as the "Crocodile Hunter," has died after being stung in a marine accident off Australia's north coast.

Australian media reports say Irwin was diving in waters off Port Douglas, north of Cairns, when the incident happened on Monday morning.

Irwin was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest, according to Cairns police sources. Irwin was filming an underwater documentary at the time.

Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality Monday morning off Port Douglas, according to Australian media.

Queensland Police Services also confirmed Irwin's death and said his family had been notified. Irwin, 44, was director of the Australian Zoo in Queensland.

He and his American-born wife Terri Irwin became popular figures on Australian and international television through Irwin's close handling of wildlife, most notably the capture of live crocodiles.

They have two children, Bindi Sue, born 1998, and Robert (Bob), born December 2003.

Irwin's enthusiastic approach to nature conservation and the environment won him a global following. He was known for his exuberance and use of the catchphrase "Crikey!"

But his image suffered a setback in January 2004 when he held his then one-month-old baby Bob while feeding a crocodile at his Australian zoo.

Irwin's wife Terri was believed to be on location in Tasmania, filming another documentary.

Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer expressed his sorry Monday and said that he was fond of Irwin and was very appreciative of all the work he had done in promoting Australia overseas.

Sad It's very sad. He has done a lot for Australian conservation and the environment.

At least he died doing something he loved.

Apparently they just let his wife know, since they couldn't contact her in Tasmania Sad

Must admit that although I wasn't the biggest fan in the world, I am quite sad at this. Australia is quite stunned. Very sad.
