Steve Irwin didn't die instantly, didn't piss off stingray

Steve Irwin's death was caught on camera and the tape shows him pulling the stingray barb out of his chest before dying. It also shows that, unlike his behavior with crocodiles and other dangerous land animals, he didn't provoke the stingray.
"It shows that Steve came over the top of the ray and the tail came up, and spiked him here (in the chest), and he pulled it out and the next minute he's gone," Stainton told reporters in the Queensland state city of Cairns, where Irwin's body was taken for an autopsy. "If ever he was going to go, we always said it was going to be the ocean," Stainton said. "On land he was agile, quick-thinking, quick-moving and the ocean puts another element there that you have no control over."
The actual tape is being held by police at the moment, but I'm not sure it's something anybody would actually want to see. Joking about shooting Paris Hilton in the face with a bazooka is one thing, actually watching a beloved conservationist die in the water is another.

Strange "Crocodile Hunter" Quotes (Steve Erwin Tribute):
"Crikey means gee whiz, wow!"
"When I see what's happened all over the world, they're looking at me as this very popular, wildlife warrior, Australian bloke. And yet back here in my own country some people find me a little bit embarrassing."
"Crikey, mate. You're far safer dealing with crocodiles and western diamondback rattlesnakes than the executives and the producers and all those sharks in the big MGM building."
"I bled a lot. I got hit across the face. We couldn't film for seven days. I got whacked, underwater, across the face. I finished the shot, got into the boat and blood started coming out."
"I get called an adrenaline junkie every other minute, and I'm fine with that."
"I have no fear of losing my life. If I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it."
"I would never blame an animal if it bit me, because I'm at fault, not them. I heal so quickly. If you cut my arm off I would grow a new one."
"I'm high as a kite, mate. I'm flat out like a lizard drinking, all the time. You know I have trouble just sitting here. You know, I'm just like, got to get up."

As I said before, his death makes me sad. I admire people who live life to the fullest, who follow their dreams and live with passion. Steve Irwin did that, and he won my admiration because of it.
As curious as I am to see what happened, much like rubber necking at a car accident... I think it would be in poor taste for anyone to release the video. I hope that it is kept private out of respect for someone's last moments on earth.
Rest in peace ya Cobber!

It's ironic that sometimes the people who risk their lives the most are the ones you are so surprised to hear about when they have a fatal accident. They are just so fearless, they almost come across as invincable. I always thought Steve was pretty wacky, but he was interesting and enthusiastic, and it was genuine. As an animal lover, I salute him and my heart goes out to his family.
And shame on you people who made jokes. That is the epitome of poor taste.

I'm surprised none of the bleeding hearts (no pun intended, Mr. Irwin) here haven't said the typical cliche, "He died doing what he loved." BFD - he died and left a family. Way to go. How good is that adrenalin rush now that his wife has to explain to his kid why daddy isn't coming home any more.
Dumbass.

Why can't Paris, Lindsay, Nicole or that fucking moron Kimberly Stewart strangled by someone they pick up in a club? Or these fucking reality "stars" -- why do the dickwads get to live and cool people like Crock man die?

I feel so damned bad for his family - especially his wife who supported his crazy sh*t and loved him for it.
He has two young children whom he adored...this is just too sad.
THANK YOU for not taking the piss out of Steve - unlike the rest of the fodder on this site, he really did contribute to society as a whole and loved what he did.

He died the way he wanted, with his beloved animals. Check out his older radio and TV appearances, he keeps saying how he's a warrior and the warrior way he'll go. And they're taking care of his family finanacial wise already, the Discovery Channel has or will set up a fund in his name for the wife and kids and there's more to come.
His wife married him knowing the dangers of his work but she supported him throughout and even joined him on some events. Anyways really sad.

No.18 You know those fools in life who no one ever gives any attention to because they never have anything constructive to say. Well the morons who post the ignorant comments are them, they come on here behind their anonymous IDs to try and get some response from others.
If they are this disrespectful and compassionless after the death of a good person then I feel sorry for them, they are in a minority that don't strive for achievement in life, that on the day of their funeral I would be suprised if they could count on one hand the people who would mourn their loss, if anyone.
29. Posted by cardio on September 5, 2006 9:38 AM
His family may be taken care of financially, but it still doesn't give his kids a dad. Hey, he loved animals more than his kids (or do we all forget him dangling his kid above the croc?). What a great guy.

Considering he's dealt with extremely deadly beasties like sharks, crocs, box jellyfish and tropical spiders of the most poisonous variety, Steve was really unlucky to succumb to a relatively non-threatening creature. Then again that stingray was 220 fucking pounds.

For all the people who said things like "How could he do this to his FAMILY? Idiot didn't think about the CHILDREN omg omg omg what is gonna be of the CHILDREN" I have a few things to say
1. His family knew what he didn't for a living and supported him.
2. So cops and construction workers shouldn't have families? There are a lot of dangerous jobs out there and still people who need to do them. Unless being an animal conservationist isn't important.
3. I'd rather have daddy being dead and a hero, being on tv and full of accomplishments to make me proud every day than have daddy alive, workaholic, and never home, or simply dismotivated and unhappy. when the CHILDREN ASK WHY DADDY ISN'T COMING HOME ANYMORE there are so many beautiful stories to tell.
4. Everyone dies. Fact. Not everyone chooses to live for something greater like he did.

Now that was a manly man...he was also not afraid of showing his emotions, which makes him more macho than any man I can think of. His love for animals, which is the best love I know, makes me admire him even more. The fact that he had no shame at all about what people thought, just focused on the things he loved...his beloved crocs, all creatures that are "creepy", and his mum, wife and kids...he is the only person I know who truly lived life with passion and compassion..only the good die young.....
42. Posted by Dory on September 5, 2006 8:34 PM
The QLD government here in Australia has offered a state funeral for him if that is what his family wishes. They are also considering having some sort of memorial for him, a national park or something similar.

Do you know whats stupid, People say He could have thought of his family when he died doing something dangerous as an accusation. Hello People, He died doing a snorkelling expedition on a beautiful tropical location. This is not an extreme sport, he was not filming sharks or something just beutiful marine life and coral, this is something families do with their kids on holidays. Wake up to yourself stupid no brain idiots jerk faces like cardio post number 19 and 29. Didnt think of that before you posted because your pathetic

To all those who continue to talk shit about this man's death: you are all fucking losers. I don't know if you just don't get it, or you don't want to get it, but Steve Irwin died doing what he loved. That was his passion. You need to respect that. How many of you actually have a passion? How many of you actually go out into the world to make a difference? Not many, I don't think. So continue to sit on your lethargic ass, and continue to contribute nothing to the world. The world will go on with or without you, you sorry ignorant fucks.
RIP Steve Irwin.

Oh, and for you that didn't understand the "dog speech", here, I'll repeat it:
Leave those wild animals alone, like they want to be, and leave them in their habitat, where they want to be! Unless of course, that makes you rich, ain't that right steve irwin?
I'd love to be rich too, opening a giant zoo, where I'd hunt wild animals, kidnap them from their wild family, and lock them up so everyone could PAY ME and watch them spinning, chanting, and scratching their nuts with one teeth, while feeding them in an exhibicionist kind of way.
So here you go again, fuckers: Buy a dog, and leave the wilds alone. The wilds want to be left alone.
Or you can just explore the wilds, and get rich like the crocodile HUNTER did. Then you can kill some dogs or pretend you care about animals. It's up to you. I couldn't care less about you, irwin, hunters in general, animals, nature, your parents, or your homes. All I really care is me, and what makes me happy. For now I'd be extremely happy sticking a stingrays tail up Irwin's dead ass!
50. Posted by its me on September 6, 2006 6:50 AM
Cruzadas- what a complete asshole you are. You don't care about Steve Irwin, but you care enough to write a friggin essay about him. He died and no one is asking you to give a shit- if you don't care, why comment? Personally I learnt more about wildlife from watching his cheesy show than I ever learnt at school. You should probably go back to school yourself- there are 1001 spelling mistakes in your post, you moron.

Right on, #50. What a moron. Learning about wildlife is important, just as learning to spell is important. In a lot of cases, holding animals in captivity is wrong and I myself have mixed feelings about zoos, but on the other hand - this bears repeating - education is important. So why don't you go get one, Cruzadas! We can't all just wander around this planet with our heads up our asses not worrying about anyone or anything but ourselves. Calous idiot.

Wow, cruzadas, you are utterly amazing. You blow me away with your ignorance. What Steve Irwin did was called research, you fucking moron. That how books get written, that's how knowledge gets distributed. He took risks for the sake of gaining knowledge. To quote your stupidity:
"Leave those wild animals alone, like they want to be, and leave them in their habitat, where they want to be! Unless of course, that makes you rich, ain't that right steve irwin?"
Are you seriously retarded? Looks like you haven't been doing your reading, my dear. He donated most of his time and money to animal habitat conservation and set up several charities for the cause. Get informed before you talk. Your ignorance is quite amusing, really.

"English speaking native", use a friggin dictionary to look up your mistakes. This is not Speak and Spell.
I have a sneaking suspicion that you are under 18 with very bad skin and you lost your one brain cell when you masturbated it out over the fake drawing of Lindsay Lohans vagina.

45 - Get over yourself. Humor in the face of tragedy is always a good idea. Not like I said anything derogatory about him. Besides, his penchant for jabbing a digit into the innards of unsespecting reptiles was downright hilarious and a great memory. His "Crikeys", "flat out like a lizard drinkings", and "Shes a Beauty"s were all part of his charismatic personality.
You remember him your own way. If that is moaning and whining on a blog, so be it. I am gonna crack a joke and then jack my finger in a cloaca... To each their own...

Calm down kids.
Irwin is going nowhere, don't worry.
Crocs, it's now legal for you you eat Irwin's little kids, as well as his wife. If they keep annoying you like the hunter did of course.
Oh, and about the spelling shit: I'll start writing correctly when you english gurus start speaking 10% of any latin language like I do (french, spanish, italian, portuguese). Just pick one. Then we'll have a competition that if I win, I get to screw your ass with a stingray tail.
Oh, and one more thing: screw all of you hunters lovers, and screw you Irwin. May you rot in a lake full of crocs.

a friend of mine interviewed both Steve and Terri in Atlanta 2 years ago, unbeknownst to me. I did say to her how strangely sad I was, kind of like, I know the guy's job meant he was aking for it, but how sad, especially for his kids. She told me that they were an amazing twosome, so especially nice (and she sees a lot of celebs at the end of their press tour, beaten down and rude) and while, yes, they are not the coolest kids at the school, they were lovely, friendly, a team, and so committed to their causes.
I feel bad for the whole thing, "what he wanted" or not.
73. Posted by EveryoneLovesAnIrishGirl on September 9, 2006 4:02 AM
OK when I saw this post I thought you were going to be making fun of him and I seriously considered never coming back to this site ever again. But I thank you for being respectful and tactfull.
Also it's a little late, but to #19, cardio, you are a bitch. Flat out. He was NOT a dumbass. He knew what he was doing, and this was a freak, flukey accident. He didn't intentionally leave his wife helpless, and I think she has enough money to support, even though that's not the only important thing. Show some respect! Can you honestly tell me you love your job as much as he did? He got the most out of life, while you're just sitting here at the fucking computer pretending to be better than him! Well take off your tiara and tutu and look in the mirror: Are you as lovable as he? Did you make important discoveries in the natural world? Did you make millions of kids happy? Did you provide them with educational entertainment? I think I've said enough, and I think everyone agrees with me. He was awesome. AMAZING. One of the greatest people on television. You deserve a swift kick in the groin for saying that.
RIP STEVE!

First of All...to any of you making jokes and smart-ass remarks about this tradgedy, shame on you. Steve Irwin was a remarkable man who dedicated his life to the conservation of animals and thier habitats, and he said himself in numerous interviews that he knew he would die the way he lived. While I am by no means happy that he is no longer with us, I take comfort in the fact that he went the way he wanted to. Even Mr.Irwin knew the dangers of shooting in water...on land he was in his element, able to outmaneuver (spelled wrong?) almost any snake or croc...but in the water, your reflexes and reaction times are severely hindered. This was a great man, he was energetic,charismatic, intelligent and gentle. My sincerest condolences go out to the family he leaves behind, I truly hope they are able to draw strength from the legacy he has created and from the legions of fans who offer love and support.
R.I.P Steve, we know you're 'wrasslin crocs up in heaven!
76. Posted by Amy3000 on September 14, 2006 11:48 AM
Oh yeah, and as for you #49...you make me sick...whether or not you were a fan of his shouldn't matter. He was a human being and he bled red blood just like you, he had a wife and children and parents and friends. Try doing your homework before opening your pie-hole, he didnt 'hunt' them...he was a dedicated conservationalist (oh, Im sorry..too big a word for your tiny brain to comprehend?) and would never have intentionally hurt a living creature. I sincerely hope when you die, that someone as distasteful as you are is there to stand up at your funeral and talk about what a moronic douchebag you were :)
77. Posted by EveryoneLovesAnIrishGirl on September 16, 2006 11:13 AM
Here, here, #75 & 76,
49 is an asswipe. He never hurt any animal, intentionally or unintentionally. You're a dumbass. He didn't do it to get rich. You don't think he didn't do this before the show? You have to do it your ENTIRE LIFE to have the experiance he did. And he opened up the zoo to help CHILDREN LEARN. Not for entertainment only, but for LEARNING and reasearch. Not testing, RESEARCH. And when he got animals from the wild, he usually brought a small family at a time, and it's not tragically ripping them away, animals aren't really family orientated, unless you count Babe the talking pig. And while you sit there contemplating how did they make that darned pig talk, absentmindedly pick up the hair dryer and fall into the tub.

number 49, you are a cocksucker, seriously. Have you ever even watched steve's show, have you ever actually listened to what he says? The animals he takes out of their habitats are taken because they're in danger from predators, hunters or habitat destruction... and he doesn't take them all back to his zoo, he re-releases them into safer areas. That's what a conservationist does- conserves the environment, derr! The animals he does take back are ones that can not be re-released or that have been born and raised in the zoo. And also, smartass, the reason why he feeds the crocs the way he does is not to be an exhibitionist but to keep some sense of animalistic hunting behaviour in the crocs life while educating the visitors and people around him. And do you know what steve spends all his money on? He spends it on land, which is to be left untouched and unspoilt in an attempt to CONSERVE our planet. So suck it asswipe
