Sadly, it seems to be true.
All that work with deadly reptiles and he gets killed by a fish. God, he must be ****ed.

Very sad.

This is true... It was actually recorded by wikipedia before anywhere else... before even ABC / CNN online got to it.
He was barbed through the chest by the stingray. Died instantly.
Wakcy guy, but had a lot of passion and enjoyment for his job. Much respect. At least he died doing his what he loved to do best, that being messing with dangerous animals... and didn't die choking on a ******* pretzel or some ****nit.
His antics and personality will be missed.
Regarding EVE Online... People really do seem to want something beautiful but unforgiving.

Sad day indeed.
Steve Irwin made appreciating nature funny, and he expressed this through his work with various animals, especially the crocodile. His show was always amusing and his catchy catch phrases and words could only come from Steve Irwin.
There will never be another one like him, he'll be missed.

RIP Steve... I've never had a single "celebrity" death really hit me...but this one does. He wasn't a celebrity, he was a normal person out doing what he loved and believed in, no matter how crazy he looked to some people. Just think the number of lives he has saved, both human and animals. The entire planet is worse off now that he is gone. Not many people can have the effect, but he did.

You could often see him riding round his zoo with the youngest kid propped on the front and he would always say hi back to you if you greeted him. A nice guy, who did alot of work promoting animal preservation.

Even though he seemed crazy at times with his close up encounters with animals the man sure did lots of good spreading awareness about dangerous reptiles and how they don't need to be feared just respected.
It is a very sad day indeed

The irony is he was filming a documentary about stingrays and their lack of threat to humans. =\
Tis a very sad loss indeed, and from what i gather his wife doesn't know yet.

he died doing what he loved, who else can ask for more. especially in that kind of field. Some of the stuff he did was awesome, like just plunging his hand down holes to grab snakes and letting black mambas sit right next to his face and stuff. At least it was a quick death and not the kind you can get from some poisons.
RIP

A little story.
I first learned about the Croc Hunter when from my Latin teacher; Salve, if you're playing. He was a HUGE fan. His brother worked at the Desert Museum here in Tucson as a biologist of some sort. Anyway, he found out that the Hunter was coming to town because we're knee deep in venomous snakes (but they don't get on our planes), aka Rattlers (they're more than just a ship). Long story short, he got to have lunch with him. How cool is that?
But on to the good part of the story. The Hunter was in town for a quick shoot, and wanted some Rattlers to put on camera. Nobody at the Desert Museum (our local research station, sort of like a zoo) knew where to find them in the wild. So Steve goes out and within about 5 minutes he finds a nest of them. Every one of the scientists at the Museum was like, "WTF??????" Nobody had every just walked off and found a nest before. But the Hunter did it without looking back. That's just the sort of man he was. A god among hepetologists. Sure, he was a wise-ass on-screen, but he knew his stuff like most people can only dream. Mock him all you want, but few people can even comprehend the respect and understanding of reptiles that he had.
A true loss for everyone, not just fans.

Don't turn this into an arguement, leave the insults to other threads - this one certainly doesn't deserve that kind of behaviour in it.

This made me smile, not in laughter but in respect. This is probably the only Eve-styled tribute that you could pay to the man, giving him his own killmail.
He was a character indeed and the shock that is reverberating around the world is currently tribute indeed to the impact he had.
Missed he will be.
