Steve Irwin's Dead?

Steve Irwin, fondly known as the Crocodile Hunter died yesterday in a freak accident. I used the term "freak" quite liberally here. More accurate might be to say "he died doing something he loved". He was stung in the chest by a stingray that was spooked while he was filming a television program on the Great Barrier Reef off far north Queensland . Irwin allegedly pulled the barb from his own chest before slipping into unconsciousness.

I hope that he died saying "Crikey" or at least surprised that the stingray, that is a known poisonous creature, would have attacked a human unprovoked in the good Steve Irwin fashion.
