Yeah, we all may have taken the mickey out of him at some point but I actually think he was a genuinely decent bloke and now he's sadly dead.
In the early afternoon of 4 September 2006, Irwin was fatally pierced in the chest by a stingray barb off the Great Barrier Reef in Australia while filming an underwater documentary.
Shortly after 11:00 a.m. local time (01:00 UTC), Irwin was filming in the Low Isles near Port Douglas, north of Cairns, Queensland, Australia, where he was stung either through his heart or through the left side of his chest and suffered cardiac arrest. After he was stung, his crew called for medical help and the Queensland Rescue Helicopter responded, taking him to Cairns Base Hospital. However, Irwin was immediately pronounced dead at the scene. The Queensland Police Service notified his family and released a statement for the media concerning the event.
Rest in Peace mate.

I was actually pretty upset by this...
Steve Irwin will be missed, I feel sorry for his wife and two kids.

Same, Luke. Although not being hugely interested in nature or anything like that, I quite liked him. Whenever anyone would an Austrailian accent, you could be damn sure it'd be followed up by "Crikey, mate!".
Rest In Peace Steve Irwin.

Didn't he say he'd be upset if his death wasn't caught on film? I read that in the paper anyway...

i know it may sound strange but i would like to see it to know what actually happened Me too. The thing is, they'd have to either aim to please the viewers (kids mainly I expect) and put it on early in the day, or go for the safer option and shove it on at like 11. |

They'll probably put it on at like nine... After the watershed... That way they can't get complaints about kids watching can they?
