'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin Reportedly Killed

(AP) BRISBANE, Australia Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the Crocodile Hunter, was killed Monday by a stingray barb during a diving expedition, Australian media reported. He was 44.

The accident happened while Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state, Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site.

The paper and other Australian media reporting the death cited police or state government sources.

Telephone calls to Australia Zoo, Irwin's zoo in southern Queensland, were not immediately answered.

Very unfortunate. He taught the world a thing or two, though, didn't he? He went out doing what he did best. That's all any of us can hope for.
I miss you already, Steve!

Thats crazy. They said he was stung in the chest and went into cardiac arrest. Its an odd death the doc said.

Did you notice the barb on that sting ray? The little guy is getting quite agrivated.

Crickey!

It got me right in the...

In all seriousness, it made me very sad when I read about this when I woke up this morning. Steve was a true conservationist, he cared a lot about the animals his life revolved around, and he will be missed by many.

I saw this and it's sad news to read. He left some very large shoes for anyone to dare to fill. From reading most of the news and from what I've seen on TV...I agree with everyone that he left the way he would have wanted...doing what he loved.

I would often cringe while watching the Croc Hunter on TV. I am very sad he ended up getting stung and died from it, I was always worried he would get badly hurt one day the way he took risks. How sad a day this is.......

Tonight on Larry King, Terry Irwin will be on with the video of the "attack" on her husband.

Im sure she will be there to show that this was just a freak accident and the ray did not mean to kill Steve.

Of all the celebrity deaths over the passed years, this is the only guy that I actually felt sad for. He seemed like a truly nice guy and it was sad to see him go. RIP.

He's going to be missed, although it drove me nuts for many years, my son would watch him any chance he got. Such a sad day, especially leaving behind such young children. But I think that dying doing what we enjoy doing is the best way to go.

Well I watched the Larry King Live last night about the Croc Hunter and his wife wasnt on there and they didnt have the video. The radio show I listen to during the day said she would be with the video, but I guess they didnt check their facts. It was a great show still in tribute to Steve.

This has to be the biggest load of crap I've ever seen:
