I already posted this in the depressed thread, but it needs its own. Poor Steve and his family

Seriously...that really is too bad. I even said a a couple of months ago, "One day he's not going to make it out alive of one of these excursions of his...."
And I guess this time was that time. At least he was doing what he loved, eh?
What kind of stingray can do that kind of damage, though, I wonder? That's...just wow.

Yeah thats what I was wondering, I was only talking about the dangers of stingrays yesterday - I thought they weren't too bad. God I'm so sad, he's too young and had so much more to do. Supposedly his wife doesn't know yet which probably means his kids don't either. They had such a happy family.

Cripes. Just got home and heard this on the radio. Don't really expect this to happen do you :/ Was watching one of his programmes just recently :/

I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later...he would just be around all these dangerous animals all the time. Though you'd half-expect him to be able to avoid ANYthing if he could work around huge crocs and be fine....

He always annoyed me, in an amusing kind of way. I'll miss him.

Blimey!
Well... condolances and best wishes to family, etc.
Always got on my tits, personally. But fair play to him...

The show used to annoy the hell out of me, but I liked it really.

*sniffle* Remembering the times my brother and I used to make hilarious versions of his show, with outrageous overly-Australian accents...*sniff*

Stingray's are not usually deadly, unless of course they get you in the heart. Well, I'll miss him.

RIP Steve
He came on top of the stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart
That's one deadly stingray...

He died doing what he loved best, pissing off dangerous wild animals for our entertainment...

Was he the guy I once saw winding up some poor innocent anaconda? I thought he was a duckhead.

Don't annoy them, they're grieving! The next thing you know there'll be a stingray sticking out of your chest!
