Tribute to Steve Irwin
Famous Australian Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin died on Monday after being stung by stingray while shooting a new program called “The Ocean’s Deadliest”.
Media reports say Irwin was snorkeling at Batt Reef, a part of the Great Barrier Reef about 9 miles (about 15 kilometers) from the town of Port Douglas, when the incident happened on Monday morning.
Irwin, 44, was killed by a stingray barb that pierced his chest, according to Cairns police sources. “He came over the top of a stingray that was buried in the sand, and the barb came up and hit him in the chest,” said John Stainton, Irwin’s friend.
The world has lost a great wildlife icon, and he died doing what he loves the most. May he rest in peace. Irwin is survived by his American-born wife Terri and their two children, Bindi Sue, born 1998, and Robert (Bob), born December 2003.
