RIP Steve Irwin
Who would've thought he'd be killed by some creature other than a crocodile or snake? A sting ray??!! There's only been three confirmed string ray deaths in Austrailia since 1900, INCLUDING him.

Re: RIP Steve Irwin
Very sad...my heart goes out to his wife and small children who will now grow up without a father...or at least him as a father.:(
He lived a dangerous life..we all do, but his was more than most.
Very strange way to die for him though. I guess it goes to show that when the Lord calls you home, you never know when or how. Life is so short and we never have a guarantee that the sun will rise for us the next day. It can happen in the blink of an eye.

Re: RIP Steve Irwin
I'm very sorry to hear about this.
He and his family appeared on a Wiggles DVD recently, and my daughter just loved the guy. He was very entertaining and educational, which is often hard to pull off. My heart goes out to his family with best wishes from mine.THE 2nd WAVE LOYAL™

RIP Steve Irwin
I know this has nothing to do with the Ravens, but I thought I'd post it anyway......Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter was killed from a sting to the heart by a Stingray while filming a documentary...He is survived by his wife and two young boys:(

Actually it's not "two young boys" but he has one son 3 and a daughter 8.

Re: RIP Steve Irwin
Pretty ironic that someone who wrestles crocs for a living,chases poisonous deadly snakes down,and mostly does all of this in the bush gets killed in the ocean by a stingray.I read late last night that his cameraman got too close and that is what spooked the stingray,this is very sad indeed.

Re: RIP Steve Irwin
It is sad that he has passed on, but it did not surprise me. The things Irwin engaged in, I was surprised he lived as long as he did.
Life is full of risks. For Irwin, it was facing and wrestling dangerous crocodiles. For me, it is driving to and from work.
My heart goes out to the family Irwin left behind.It's a new season! It's a new day!
