"RIP Steve Irwin"

Had to happen at some point...

BBC news

Probably the way he would have wanted to go, but maybe not now with a wife and 2 kids. Still, you take the risks...

Yeah, pretty much what everyone else is saying. A legend.

RIP

Third, yup third ever recorded. Must have done something to upset the animal though, theyre not aggresive animals.

I read that he's a fan of Singapore Zoo and considers it a sister Zoo to his own Australia Zoo. So I'll be sure to visit it when I'm there in 5 weeks. Suppose to be one of the best Zoos in the world. They set up the worlds first night safari, I wonder how we're to see the animals though :/

A sad loss ...

A sad loss indeed and I just hope the video of his death is never released.

He's not even cold and already the jokes are flooding in

Shame, though I spared a thought for the man, he still had many more years to live with his family.

I feel for them rather than him.
