DeAnO Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 The guy was my hero, watching him deal with everything dangerous under the sun then getting killed with a Stingray! I couldnt even have told you that a stingray was poisonous. Rest in peace Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Kane Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Apparently they captured it all on camera, the barb pierces his chest and then he stops and pulls it out before losing consciousness, terrible way to go & extremely unlucky really. He will be missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsteve Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Real shame. His heart was totally with wildlife. We visited his zoo while in Oz last year and it was the cleanest zoo I've ever been to. All the cages, pens, pools, etc were immaculate and it seemed as though as soon as an animal 'made' it mucky, it was cleared up. Sad loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quadrant Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 The guy was a nutter, it doesnt surprise me that he passed away but at least it was doing something he loved. If I was a racing driver, I would rather die racing than by being murdered (for example). But then again, no-one would prefer being murdered, or would they? No, I wouldn't. Anyway where was I, yeah, real shame generally, although he was a nutcase we all loved him pissing off those snakes and sharks by poking them with sticks and chasing them. I wonder if Australia has another one of them to take his place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsteve Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Has anyone seen the episode of South Park with Irwin walking round with a stingray poking out of his chest? I haven't seen it myself yet, but apparently it extracts the Michael out of other dead celebrities too. A bit out of taste, so close to Irwin's death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I've not seen it, but the fact they've done it doesn't surprise me, i'll wait to pass judgement until i watch it but usually South Park's satire is brilliant if a little crude. The way they took off 'The Day After Tomorrow' where they ran from global warming was superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
