Jeez, I thought you were joking or posting something irrelevent, but Steve Irwin has infact but done in by a stingray.

Damn somebody beat me to posting.

They were talking abaout him on the radio as I was driven in to town to lodge my unemployment benfits and I wasn't really listening. Not until I read it on the optus news page as I logged on here.

Stung through the heart by a sting ray while diving off Port Douglas. Apparently he was filming a documentry at the time.

Well, I guess he died doing something he loved.

Steve Irwin, sad news indeed, but really, it was only a matter of time before his 'zany' antics got the better of him.

My mate just moved to OZ and Irwin is a national hero over there (was a national hero), with a zoo dedicated to endangered species etc... A loss to science and madness.

Listen up kids, don't play with wild animals!.

I was fairly certain that most of the 'danger danger ' stuff was staged...

So it's a bit ironic he's been killed by something out of the blue like this. Still it's a shame as he seemed like a decent bloke and it's a nightmare for his wife and kids

Should someone take a body count here and divide it by the number of days this thread has been running? Then we'll know how often we have to wait between celebrity deaths.
