from news.com.au

THE Crocodile Man, Steve Irwin, is dead.
He was killed in a freak accident in Cairns, police sources said. It is understood he was killed by a sting-ray barb that went through his chest.
He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas filming an underwater documentary and that's when it occured.
Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality this morning at Batt Reef off Port Douglas.

No serious..it was just on Sky news and they are talking about him on the radio. Loved his work on the Footy Show over the years.

Given that this is the NRL forum I thought for a minute you meant new Raiders signing Steve Irwin... either way, terribly sad news.

 

[gregstar]

poor guy...he copped so much crap after the whole baby incident. The amount of work he has done for Australian tourism and the environment definately deserves a mention.

It's true and fans of the Raiders' Steve Irwin can breathe easy.
