Member No.: 42	QUOTE Mr Irwin, 44, died after being struck in the chest by the stingray's barb while he was filming a documentary in Queensland's Great Barrier Reef. Paramedics from Cairns rushed to the scene but were unable to save him. Mr Irwin was known for his television show The Crocodile Hunter and his work with native Australian wildlife. Police in Queensland confirmed the environmentalist's death and said his family had been notified. Mr Irwin was married with two young children. "It is believed that Mr Irwin collapsed after being stung by a stingray at Batt Reef off Port Douglas at about 1100 (0100 GMT)," a police statement quoted by AFP news agency said. "His crew called for medical treatment and the Queensland medical helicopter responded. However Mr Irwin had died." It was obvious he was going to be killed this way but a world without Steve Irwin is a duller place thats for sure!!! It makes me wonder if it was actually filmed and how long it will take to hit the internet if it was. I can see it now - (In Aussie accent) " What this angry little stingray doesn't know is I'm gonna grab its tail and then aaggghhhhh......." -------------------- Of course I'm arrogant...The best always are!
