Well, as the Australian Prime Minister said today: "It was a freakish and untimely death." :(
RIP.

When my eldest was about 3 thru to about 5 he idolised Steve after seeing him in a Wiggles video that was al about Australia Zoo, Steve and his family.
He used to dress in some khaki clothes and pretend he was Steve - he's got one of the biggest collections of stuffed crocodiles and snakes.
In Sept 2003 we went to Australia Zoo and saw Steve zipping around on a dirt bike near the compound where his house is.
When my son, just turned 7, found out yesterday he was devastated apparently cried all the way home from school. :(
oh, Holly Cow!! what a freaky death. I imagined him bitten by a croc, but not "bayonetted" by a stingray :(
My condolences to his wife, kids, and his family.
As somone mentioned earlier:"Discovery Channel won't be the same" without him. This guy was unique.
The saddest part is his small children. I bet he was a tremendous dad.
I admit he was a bit over the top, but I liked him.
As my dad always said, "At least he went doing what he loved to do."
The Animal Planet is running tributes to him tonight.
Oh, no! I have basic Comcast subscription.... Animal Planet channel is not included :(
aww ... that's too bad nganvu :(
I live at the Sunshine Coast and work at the airport where we are awaiting for the flight to bring Steve home.. very somber mood here...
Cheers Steve..youll always be in our hearts mate...
...and Steve was filming " the Ocean's Deathliest" documentary.....
How sad :(
Was really sad to see him in a re-run on tv yesterday.
I too was totally shocked at the news,, had a premonition a few years ago that he would be killed on the job ( haven't we all ? ) by poisons,, such as snakes or spiders but never thought of a Stingray fish ,and according to statistics there has only been 18 documented deaths world wide., and only two in the past three years..
Oh.. Crikey '' .
At least Ebay are maintaining their usual high standards :rolleyes:
