Crikey... RIP

It just isn't right. Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin died today of a sting ray attack. Of all the risks he took for his show, it wasn't even a high risk situation that killed him. Sting Rays almost never attack people and in the very rare instances when they do, it's almost never fatal. Their venom isn't fatal. It just hurts like hell. They think what happened is the sting ray hit him right in the chest, possibly piercing the heart with its barbed tail. It was described as a "one in a million" thing. He was a great entertainer and a great conservationist. Rest in peace, Croc Hunter.
