A great world hero who died doing what he was born for, such a sad shock to learn that a man as great as him has been killed.

I thought it was a joke when I first heard the news but then read it for myself and realised it was true.
Although I never really watched his shows, I feel very sad and even more so for his family.
Steve, you will be remembered.

Queensland ambulance service spokesman Bob Hamil confirmed that a diver had been killed by a stingray off Lowe Isles Reef, but said the person's name wasn't being released pending notification of the family.

I knew Steve on a personal level having worked directly with him for 6 years. Under all that hype was a nice bloke with an oddly secret passion for knob tail geckoes. Sad to see him gone.

OMG, I am numb!! with all his over the top antics he had a simple message regarding animal conservation and for that and his family I feel a great loss. Truely suprised by how sad this news has hit me! Was an inspiration and a role model.

RE: Steve Irwin Dead???

OMG I'm completely shocked I just found out, stingray tagged him whilst filming in Cairns :cry:
He had such a love for life and had just started a family its so sad :cry:
The best, cleanest zoo I've ever been to, he has done so much for Australian tourism and for our wildlife and conservation, I hope Terry carries on his goals. Gee I just can't believe it another lesson to take nothing for granted.
I wish I could have personally meet him, such an inspiration over the TV for all those years.
Condolences to the Irwin family.

What a sad day. I have loved watching this bloke for years and will sadly miss him even though I didn't know him personally. I think the world will miss him not just Australia.
