I couldn't believe this, I know there was a story a while that he had died which turned out to be fake. I just hoped this was the same but alas...

RIP Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter

Our thoughts are with his family.

R.I.P. Steve Irwin. You'll be sorely missed

My sincerest condolences go to his family and friends.

I couldnt beleive this when I saw it on Sky News.

Its so sad, he was genuinley a nice bloke, anyone who'd ever saw him on tv knew that. I spose in a good way its good that he died doing what he loved.

RIP Steve

RIP Steve

He was a truly great man

Very unlucky too:

BBC News said:
Attacks on humans are a rarity - only one other person is known to have died in Australia from a stingray attack, at St Kilda, Melbourne in 1945.

RIP Steve Irwin.

My thoughts are with his family.

I always loved watching his nature programs. Much more than David Bellamy, Terry Nutkin et al.

He will be missed.
