SYDNEY, Australia - Steve Irwin, the quirky Australian naturalist who won worldwide acclaim, has died in a marine accident off Australia’s northeast coast, local media reported on Monday.

Queensland state government sources quoted by Australian Associated Press (AAP) said Irwin, 44, whose television show “The Crocodile Hunter” won international acclaim and popularized the phrase “Crikey”, was believed to have been killed by a stingray barb that pierced his chest.

He was filming an underwater documentary off Port Douglas when the accident occurred, the report said.

Sky Television also reported that Irwin had been stung by a sting ray.

Australian emergency officials could not immediately confirm the reports.

Irwin won a global following for his daredevil antics but also triggered outrage in 2004 by holding his then one-month-old baby while feeding a snapping crocodile at his Australian zoo.

That is sad. "Crocodille Hunter" is one of the few TV shows I found worth watching. But, keep in mind few people ever have the chance to die doing something they love.

May Allah(swt) be mercifull to him.

Whoa, never known the "croc hunter..." whoa! :rollseyes

Anyhow, like Woodrow said, how many of us get to die doing something we love? Such a small number and he was one of the lucky.

The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh, it is the way of the world, it is all a plan.

Back to the main story, c'mon guys, he plays with crocs and snakes, the man was throwing sticks at death, its only a matter of time before death bit back. :uhwhat
 
:sl:

I was so shocked to hear about this... especially becuase today at uni my lecturer actually mentioned a qoute by the guy, then i come home and my bro tells me he died.:uuh:

i guess we always thought of the guy as knowing what he is doing, like nothing can harm him cos hes just so good at what he does, i guess you never know when its your time to go...

the saddest part is that he has 2 little kids!:cry:

to Allah we belong and to Allah we return
 
Such a shame!! He was so enthusisatic (sp), about all he did. His wife does the same kind of work she should reconsider and brin gup the two kids left without a father.
 
Ahhhh Steve. I'll miss his personality.....:cry:
May Allah have mercy on him for looking after his creatures so well and having so much respect for the creation of Allah. Ameen.
 
Very sad news, i love his show and he was good man...

May Allah have mercy on him...
