Steve Irwin, conservationist and host of the popular television show “The Crocodile Hunter” (as well as the 2002 film of same name), died Monday at the age of 44 off the Great Barrier Reef. While shooting a new documentary he was stung by a stingray, which by most accounts is usually very painful but rarely actually fatal. It’s barbed tail pierced his chest and put a hole in his heart. There was a time during the peak of his show’s popularity where his death at the hand of one of these creatures seemed inevitable, however over the years it basically sunk it that this guy might seem crazy, but either knew exactly what he was doing or was the luckiest person in the world, or both. Steve Irwin will always be remembered for his enthusiasm. He is survived by his wife Terri and his children Bindi Sue and Bob.
