One way or another, we all know Steve Irwin. He's the Croc Hunter! Unless you've been living under a rock, you'd know that Steve's teh awesome. I mean, how many people in the world would, on a daily basis, handle, wrestle and put their heads into WILD crocodiles' mouths for a living?Today, 4th Sept 2006, Steve Irwin was killed in an accident with a stingray off the Australian Coast. In a freak accident, he was stung right through the heart by its sting, and it is believed he died instantly.
Besides being "THE" croc man that we all believed to be invincible(honestly, I never had ANY doubt that he'd survive all those croc encounters), and the guy we all love to parody when making jokes, he's really a very good person. 2 months ago, I read an article about how he donates a proportion of his money from all of his tv shows, on a regular basis, to the Australian Zoo, in order to keep them running, and give the animals there a better home.
So no, although i do not know him, only thru his documentaries, I say, respects to the man. He's made a name for himself, and he's brave as hell. (He handles rattlesnakes and the like, with ease..) Tho 44 is not really old, I would say he's lived his life rather well, though we all cant help but go.."Ohh, his poor family.."(He has an 8 yr old daughter and a 2 year old son, and his wife).
Crikey, he was a big one mate!
