They didn't call him "The Stingray Hunter"

Steve Irwin died after being stung through the heart by a stingray.

I always wondered how and when he would go. I figured it would be some sort of animal. He wouldn't have had it any other way.

The funniest part is that it was a stingray. I've swam with them in the Cayman islands. They're like kittens. They only sting you when they're really scared.

And it had to have stung him _right_ in the heart for it to be that fatal. You have to wonder what he was doing.

Or when the video footage will appear on the internet. :(
