CROCODILE HUNTER DEATH TO BE BROADCAST?
Quote:The footage of late Australian naturalist STEVE IRWIN being killed by a stingray could be shown on TV. Charismatic Irwin, dubbed the Crocodile Hunter after his internationally acclaimed TV show, died yesterday (04SEP06) while diving on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Irwin was filming for a new documentary when he lost his life, and his cameraman shot the moment when the stingray's barbed tail stabbed the legendary conservationist through the heart. The tapes are currently being held by Queensland police - but Irwin's family are determined to respect his last wishes and allow the harrowing footage to be broadcast. Irwin once insisted, "My number one rule is to keep that camera rolling. Even if it's shaky or slightly out of focus, I don't give a rip. "Even if a big old alligator is chewing me up I want to go down and go, 'Crikey!' just before I die. That would be the ultimate for me." An insider tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "This is exactly what Steve would have wanted. He knew the dangers and was totally up for the cameras to get everything.

I guess he would want the whole world see him go,
he was that kinda bloke, I used to watch his television shows from about 2 yrs ago and he seems witty corageous loved his job working with animals, I guess showing this final footage will teach us all what he was all about a true guy full to the brim of wildlife
has anyone watched that Big Cat Diary?
how it made me cry learning how the cheetah cub (Toto) perished
anyhows wildlife trails are a danger but for enthusiasts like steve he was a great champion bloke!

According to Wiki he boxed the animal in the coral and it felt threatened, it positioned it's tail upwards and pierced his heart.
Apparently a 1 in a million kind of things...
Only 18 recorded cases in the world now also according to Wiki.

although its easy to say he "boxed" the creature, it was shallow water as he was only snorkelling and though there is only 18 recorded cases there have been none in Australia since the 50's
the police have viewed the tape and confirmed he did not "provoke" the ray in any way, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time while filming a segment for his daughters show
what makes this sadder, if that is at all possible, is that his wife only found out by hearing the story on the radio
