Crikey! The Crocodile Hunter has died.
One of the more entertaining figures on television, Steve Irwin, aka the Crocodile Hunter, has died.
Irwin, 44, was killed by a stingray barb that pierced his chest, according to Cairns police sources.
Australia Prime Minister John Howard said he was “shocked and distressed at Steve Irwin’s sudden, untimely and freakish death,” according to AP. “It’s a huge loss to Australia.”
It’s ironic that he was filming a fairly soft piece, and not, for example, wrestling barracudas for which he was better-known.
RIP
