The man known as the Crocodile Hunter died “doing what he loves best.''
Steve Irwin
Television personality and environmentalist Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray barb to his heart during a diving expedition. The 44-year-old Irwin was stung near the resort town of Port Douglas, more than 1,200 miles north of Brisbane, where he'd been filming an underwater sequence for a series on the Great Barrier Reef.
A rescue helicopter rushed to the scene when members of Irwin's crew raised the alarm but it was too late to save his life.

I heard that on the news. A very freakie thing.
Patsy, I bet half those numbers on your meter are from me checking your blog all day long to see what you have posted.
It seemed somehow appropriate that he would die working with wild creatures - but I'm sad about it just the same. I feel so sad for his wife and children.
I did enjoy some of his tv shows.
More than I can say for most tv.
The kids are very young. I guess
you'd say..."die doing".
Pat why are you not Blogging????
