RIP Steve at least he died cool and doing what he loves

[Jon Foucart]

i always watched his show, and even saw his movie. RIP

[GreenJellyBean]

that's a shame.

[yutsmcgee]

That's terrible. RIP.

[shadowofmyself]

that's so sad! i loved that guy! his poor wife and kid...

[Joe DeAndrea]

The crazy lady who trains all those chimps is the only cool nature d00d left now.
If she goes, the world is officially over.
:(

[costello.]

This is fucked up. I grew up on this guy, and its too bad he had to go. Rest in Peace.

same here... used to watch his show all the time on animal planet.
he has little kids, too. that's terrible.
rest in peace.

[thewk]

crikey. this is sad, but he always did risk his life for his tv show. this was going to happen.
r.i.p.

[saysmydoctor]

What will I watch on Animal Planet?

RIP Steve, and catch an angel in heaven. Maybe it'll bite your arm.

[TakingBackNolan]

Terrible. Just terrible. :(

[Ravenna]

RIP Steve at least he died cool and doing what he loves
how do you die cool? not cool

[indie_ira]

horrible stuff.....


rip

[bluecrunchy]

man, that really sucks. RIP.

[guitarpunk411]

Wow i always thought he would die from a crocodile or a shark attack..but a stingray who would have guessed....RIP he was a good man

[Neptune]

id say i feel sorry for him, but i dont. i feel bad for his wife and kids; this just goes to show that if you mess around with mother nature, especially as much as he has, you will pay the price.

[charbear]

What will I watch on Animal Planet?

RIP Steve, and catch an angel in heaven. Maybe it'll bite your arm.
Nice...

RIP one of the greatest/craziest educators out there. May his family be ok :/

[smokedsanity]

Wow. I practically was raised through my teen years on his show. I even have the movie. Shame to hear this. I think he and his wife recently had another kid, this is too bad.

[Take Heart]

id say i feel sorry for him, but i dont. i feel bad for his wife and kids; this just goes to show that if you mess around with mother nature, especially as much as he has, you will pay the price.

You are a douche. Every post you make is negative, and the real shame is that people like you don't get into more stingray related accidents.

RIP Steve Irwin though, I feel terrible for his family.

[steve-0]

its sad, but thats kind of a cool way to die. a stingray stinger through your chest.

[nycait882006]

how do you die cool? not cool

it is cool. he was killed by a stingray barb that went though his chest how many people have died like that.

[intoyourarms]

id say i feel sorry for him, but i dont. i feel bad for his wife and kids; this just goes to show that if you mess around with mother nature, especially as much as he has, you will pay the price.

That's pretty asinine if you ask me. The guy was promoting the education of wildlife as his job. He was adored around the world for his uncanny charisma and offbeat charm that made you watch his shows and learn new things about wild animals. He wasn't "messing around" with mother nature. He loved to inform people about different animals as he was trying to do in a underwater documentary and he was killed. Therefore you say he fucked with mother nature too much. I'm going to laugh when you get struck by lightening.

[WCC335]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Joe DeAndrea]

Both of you are idiots.

whoa! take a chill pill dude

[Pat Brown]

I'll always remember his appearance on that one "This Is Sportscenter" commercial. Fuck stingrays.

[StandMyBrothers]

RIP man, I loved your show!! Animal Planets been quite shitty without new episodes of croc hunter diaries

[TgE ARTdamage]

:(

my exgirlfriend and I used to watch his shows all the time.

[intoyourarms]

i agree. the tackling of the florida gator was great.

[Ravenna]

it is cool. he was killed by a stingray barb that went though his chest how many people have died like that.
oh yeah, thats really cool. i bet his wife was like 'what a frickin cool way to die! way to go steve!'
retard.

[MM2death]

I still find it hard to believe...even though he did something incredibly dangerous for a living. I thought he would be around forever wrestling crocodiles. May he rest in peace. He did more good in his 44 years than what most of us will in our lifetimes. He educated so many people on animal and conservation awareness.
He was one of a kind.

My thoughts are with his family and friends.

[moonlights]

Both of you are idiots.
why? i'd say being killed doing something you love is pretty cool - if i had to choose the way i'd die, i'd choose to die doing what i love too.

[TheBaroness]

We'll probably be having a national day of mourning sometime this week. He was a great guy and really did a lot of work for conservation, and also for Australia.

[LPMagic]

That's awful. :(

[sweetmik]

Wow i always thought he would die from a crocodile or a shark attack..but a stingray who would have guessed....RIP he was a good man

Yeah, I thought the same thing. At least he died doing what he loved.

RIP

[nycait882006]

oh yeah, thats really cool. i bet his wife was like 'what a frickin cool way to die! way to go steve!'
retard.


no they will say he died doing what he loved ass face

[Venona]

oh great another reason for me to fear stingrays
i grew with this guy
this saddens me

[Roboman]

Fuck, a stingray barb through the chest? Christ...never was too fond of him (just don't watch much TV, especially Animal Planet), but that just blows. RIP.

[Joe DeAndrea]

why? i'd say being killed doing something you love is pretty cool - if i had to choose the way i'd die, i'd choose to die doing what i love too.


No it isn't. Being dead in the first place isn't something "cool". Like if a cop got killed trying to save someone, his death wouldn't be cool.

[Joe DeAndrea]

no they will say he died doing what he loved ass face


But that doesn't make it cool, you moron.

[Ravenna]

No it isn't. Being dead in the first place isn't something "cool". Like if a cop got killed trying to save someone, his death wouldn't be cool.
exactly

[nycait882006]

but he'll always be remembered

are you serious? i know that every time ive watched steve irwins show he handles wild animals, grabbing alligators and snakes and whatever other animal he is filming. he had a very hands on approachive seen him bitten by numerous snakes, and i believe it was probably the same case with this stingray accident. he was obviously too close to this animal if it was able to sting right through his chest. ive been stung by a ray before in the ankle and they generally only attack when provoked. that is, if you touch them they will defend themselves.

there is a difference between a documentary filming the natural lives of wild animals, and a tv show where some guy picks up animals and plays around with them in front of the camera.

all im saying is take this as a lesson. in much the same way that parents tell their children to respect the power of the ocean, you should respect the power of wildlife and realize these creatures are something that should be observed from a distance.

[nycait882006]

But that doesn't make it cool, you moron.


yeah it does when i die i hope i die cool

Wow, this totally needed to be said.

[B_0202]

aww wow, that sucks
rip

[nycait882006]

the guy was pretty stupid he did hold his kid over a crocks mouth

[bankrom]

RIP Steve, and catch an angel in heaven. Maybe it'll bite your arm.

i laughed at that, and then immediately felt bad

[Burnout2888]

RIP, at least he died doing something he loved and not from something terrible like a heart attack or cancer...

[Joe DeAndrea]

yeah it does when i die i hope i die cool


It'd be cool if you died with some fucking respect.

[sweetmik]

Wow, this totally needed to be said.
agreed. Sucks he died, but it's not very surprising.

[Venona]

I bet Animal Planet will be showing Crocodile Hunter marathons all day tomorrow
and i'll be watching every second of it.

[moonlights]

No it isn't. Being dead in the first place isn't something "cool". Like if a cop got killed trying to save someone, his death wouldn't be cool.
i guess we're defining 'cool' differently, because i think that is cool. giving your life to save someone else is not a bad thing in my book. it's actually amazing to me that some people could be that selfless to risk their life (and lose it) trying to save someone. i respect those people a lot. and that would make them cool in my eyes.

i'm not saying the fact that he's dead is cool, i'm saying that the fact that he died doing what he loved is cool. there's a difference. there's much worse ways to die.

[sweetmik]

It'd be cool if you died with some fucking respect.
Yeah, then he'd be fucking HARDCORE!

[Buried A Lie]

stop bickering, take it somewhere else R.I.P.

[Venona]

RIP, at least he died doing something he loved and not from something terrible like a heart attack or cancer...
and getting stabbed in the heart by a fucking Stingray isnt terrible?

[Mercy Medical]

This shit is going to be all over the morning news tomorrow.

[saysmydoctor]

Cool is dying in a freak snowboarding accident. Getting killed by a fuckin' stingray when you tried to manhandle it is fuckin' stupidity.

[AsianMan696]

its a shame that someone just died and you guys are having ridiculous agruments and even making jokes about it. Have some respect.

R.I.P.

[TgE ARTdamage]

dude, when you get stung by a sting ray, doesn't it like start to paralyze/poison you and you die pretty slow and painfully?

because for some reason, just "stung by a sting ray through the chest" sounds like it would be a really agonizing and painful death :(

and that makes me feel even worse for him.

[intoyourarms]

all im saying is take this as a lesson. in much the same way that parents tell their children to respect the power of the ocean, you should respect the power of wildlife and realize these creatures are something that should be observed from a distance.

agreed. but you still have to give the guy respect for what he did.

[Buried A Lie]

its a shame that someone just died and you guys are having ridiculous agruments and even making jokes about it. Have some respect.

R.I.P.


it would be a different story for those saying "he asked for it" "it was stupidity" if it was their family. just ignore the dumbasses.

[The_New_Cancer]

I just read that thanks to Anew posting it in a bulletin. I thought it was a joke after they said he got a sting ray barb through his chest. I always asumed he would have died after getting his head eaten by a croc or something... Too bad. I was raised on this guy, and always loved to laugh at his stupidity.

RIP Steve Irwin

well the story said he was dead at the scene
and he was stabbed in the heart
so i can imagine it was pretty quick.

I wonder what his last words were. I hope it's something more than crickey. Serious.

[TgE ARTdamage]

somehow, i still think to him it probably felt like a million years.

[TgE ARTdamage]

on that note, i wonder if they documentary footage will ever be released or not.

[sweetmik]

on that note, i wonder if they documentary footage will ever be released or not.

Oh, yea I forgot about that. I'm sure it'll be on the internet soon, knowing people.

I would want to see it. If something big happens, no matter what it is, moving pictures is the way I want to see it.

[goyoyofosoco]

dude, when you get stung by a sting ray, doesn't it like start to paralyze/poison you and you die pretty slow and painfully?




First, if it paralyzed you, it wouldn't be painful.


Secondly, if it was into his heart, it probably took over almost instantaneously.


I mean, R.I.P. and all, don't get me wrong... It's a tragedy, and I wouldn't wish it on my absolute worst enemy, but, I'VE never been stabbed through the heart by a stingray, because I don't go diving into the ocean trying to wrestle Moby Dick and all his killer friends.

[Neptune]

agreed. but you still have to give the guy respect for what he did.
ill admit that he had a vast knowledge of reptiles and animals in general, but i dont have respect for someone who goes and intrudes on these wild animals who want nothing to do with him.

[Neptune]

getting stung by a stingray compares to the feeling of a jellyfish sting, but much more acute and bloody, as the barb will cut right down to your bone. at least thats what happened to me.

[catscradle]

id say i feel sorry for him, but i dont. i feel bad for his wife and kids; this just goes to show that if you mess around with mother nature, especially as much as he has, you will pay the price.

Go fuck yourself and die. This man has lived his whole life preserving wildlife and saving animals. He truly devoted his life to his work. You only wish you could be half the man that he was.




rip steve.


you will be missed by those who loved you and the animals you saved. If only the world could share the same passion towards life that you had, then the world would surely be a better place.

[starcrossdlovex]

I always figured if this would happen, it would definitely be from a crocodile. sort of ironic that he fights crocs for years & then ends up being done in by another animal.
Well, he died doing what he loves, which isn't something many people can say.
RIP.

[GAD_guy]

fuck

[sirrie]

he always annoyed me for some reason but this is really sad, hope his family will be OK.

[Ailite]

This is horrible. I grew up on this, he made me fall in love with nature. I wanted to be a naturalist just because of him. I'm relaly sad by this.

[lindZ629]

i loved this guy, he was so entertaining
RIP

[hydraulicheart]

why? i'd say being killed doing something you love is pretty cool - if i had to choose the way i'd die, i'd choose to die doing what i love too.

It's all about word choice. I wouldn't go with "cool". You sound completely insincere when you say it in this context.


on that note, i wonder if they documentary footage will ever be released or not.

I'm sure the fim crew wouldn't "put it on the internet" like someone said. It's not like someone else was hiding in the reef filming it on their digital camera, just to run home and upload it on YouTube. I think it'd be terrible to release this footage to anyone.

[newfoundmichael]

first the Grizzly Man, and now Steve...damn man, isn't it weird seeing people die who you grew up watching, it makes you feel pretty old.

[NicoleC]

grizzly man > crocodile hunter

[Matt_Dizzle]

Noooo. ! =/
RIP man.

[grimis16]

wow...i didnt think this would surprise me, but to be honest it really did. RIP

[crazijoe229]

ok lets not start comparing grizzly man to crocodile hunter here.....this is a time to remember Steve and all the great things he had to give to us over the years.....he's a great man and the nicest man anybody will ever meet... r.i.p. steve irwin..........this is messed up

[Kaystarmaker]

wow...i didnt think this would surprise me, but to be honest it really did. RIP

he just worded my thoughts exactly...

[love_american_style]

that's horrible news...he had a great show...i feel sorry for his wife and family.

but at the same time i knew in the back of my head that he would go this way...as morbid as it sounds.

[Joe DeAndrea]

I think it'd be terrible to release this footage to anyone.

I'm guessing by next week it will get out some how unfortunatley.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

This death has made me feel quite sadden. My thoughts go with his family.

[Troy will Fall]

holy shit, this is sad, i used to love his show on animal planet.

[sweetmik]

It's all about word choice. I wouldn't go with "cool". You sound completely insincere when you say it in this context.

It could happen. I know there are a lot of news camera guys who save car crashes, horrible accidents, and what not to post them on you tube. I'm sure the documentary crew were close to the guy, and wouldn't release out of respect. But I'm sure it'll surface if it was even caught on tape.

[CaughtAGlimpse]

RIP Steve.

[lftcoastenvy05]

this shit just adds to my friends and i's fucked up night... lets all give one last toast to steve irwin

[Risk The Fall]

He always seemed like a good dude, and he really did respect nature and was good to the animals he interacted with. It's a shame this happened. He was a great educator and got a lot of kids, including me, interested in nature. RIP

[plain white t's]

rip dude

[iheartlancebass]

Wow. I practically was raised through my teen years on his show. I even have the movie. Shame to hear this. I think he and his wife recently had another kid, this is too bad.
you were raised by a television show about catching crocodiles? sorry.

[roswell]

Rip :(

[santacruzice]

it was cool to watch him because he clearly was doing what he was passionate about. it sucks that its rare that people get to do what they really love to do for a living and get payed for it. this site is all about bands that do the same. Steve was just like the bands we are super into.

as the matches have said "may your organs fail before your dreams fail you." Steve's dreams didn't fail before his life did.

[Aikichi]

RIP Steve

[barbsxxx]

Fucking Sad, I Guess When Its Your Time To Go, Its Your Time To Go, Never Imagined He Would Die From A Sting Ray...

[colourofstef]

RIP this is terrible! would have been more impressive if a black mamba finally got the better of him. Damn stingrays.

[beauty is dead]

i always looked at him as a huge joke and im sure as did most people. but that sucks and i wish the best for his family. i can't say i never expected something along these lines to happen. RIP

[bonefacekillah]

how is a sting ray gonna be the one to kill him.

his last words had to be "are you kidding me?" or "bro...a sting ray?!"

RIP steve irwin, you will be missed.

[youcomebeforeyo]

RIP Steve. You were awesome.

[super-mel]

he was a legend and will live on forever good on you stece CRICKERY rip mate

[Drew_Bear00]

My mum woke me up at 6.15am to tell me this. This sucks so so so bad. I saw him live last year at Australia zoo and it was better then any movie, play or tv show i've ever seen. He had such character and you could he loved doing what he was doing. Being like that was what got me into him and actually listening to what he said.

RIP Steve 'Crikey Look At The Size Of This One!'

[J4xoR]

yeah, i saw on the news. that's some fucked up shit. what sucks even more is how he had to die... pierced by sting rays WTF... RIP. but we all know he had it coming, he's stupid as well since he has a family... selfish. all for what? publicity.

[Ragnarok71]

I was so shocked to hear this, I was at work and all the sudden it was everywhere, everyone knew. The whole office went silent.

RIP dude, you were an inspiration to many.

[matt_rawlings]

I cannot believe this!

Worst news of the week...fuck

[Broken Parachute]

I was seriously upset by this. I wasn't his biggest fan or anything, but he as a person in general was a great guy. Maybe he did dangerous things, but he is known world wide for his wildelife preservation and dedication to animals. It's sad that he had to die while filming the documentary. Rest in Peace, Steve Irwin.

[Ragnarok71]

Crikey! Oo' fackin said I wus dead? I'm fackin right here! You fackin blokes don't know jackshit, you know 'at?



Not funny dude, have some respect...

[Broken Parachute]

Crikey! Oo' fackin said I wus dead? I'm fackin right here! You fackin blokes don't know jackshit, you know 'at?
Way to be an asshole.

[joz]

can't believe it was a stingray that finished him off...

[mr chainsaw]

rip

[aminorthreat55]

Rest in Peace.

The entire country of Austrailia on the other hand . . .

[MonoRecords]

thats really sad, but dont lie to yourself, you knew this would happen to him long before today. RIP

[Quietdrive]

We will remember you...we will rememmberrr youuuu

[MusicOrMisery]

RIP Steve, he was a living legend

[spencersface]

Damn that's intense. RIP.

[immortlone1188]

can't believe it was a stingray that finished him off...

yeah, i kinda thoght that he would be killed by something cooler like a crocodile or giant something or other.

RIP, mate.

[koala72]

This spread around my school in like 2 minutes

[terrrrrible]

That's crazy, and quite unfortunate. RIP.

[fatweasel]

Its not a 'cool' death? look at it this way, if he had passed on through the years and grown old and faded, died of a heart disease or cancer...he would become part of the same decaying pile of normal people. Even death by a crocodile wouldnt do what this sting ray barb did....he will be legend, particuarly here in Australia, he wont grow old, he wont be forgotten...

Also...he took risks and paid the price. Its kinda weird...people like him seem invincible. Its pretty damn sad. Queensland where his from...we're economically fucked...half our states economy relied on the tourism dollars from steve....hahaha well not quite...but you get the picture...

RIP steve...

[BigMouthStrikes]

as the matches have said "may your organs fail before your dreams fail you." Steve's dreams didn't fail before his life did.

Great quote, really saddenend by this news, long live Steve Irwin

[quixotic]

that's wild... rip.

[siimpx]

what a way to go

[myworstmistakes]

this is super sad, i've watched his show forever and still do. it was so obvious how much he cared about his life's work.

[cahrishurr]

:(

[manjuice]

he was an utter leeeeeeeeeeeegend i remember a time when i was a school kid and everyone used to impersonate him or something lame like that. his enthusiasm never failed.

R.I.P steve

[Emoguy]

r.i.p

[moronindisguise]

im really surprised that his death wasnt caused by a crocodile, close though. either way this is very tragic. at least he died doing what he loved.

[Nate_RAWKS]

When i read about it happening this morning it hit me pretty hard he's such a cool guy and he does so much
for wildlife and Australia... he was an icon.

i still can't believe he was be killed by a sting ray i mean what are the odds...


he wrestled crocs....


may he rest in peace...

:(

[sonixundying]

this guy was more then a pop icon ... He really dedicated his life to wildlife. I dont care what you say 99.99999 percent of us won't leave our plush lives to chase and help animals throughout the world. The man lived in huts and trailers for godsakes ... he was a millionaire by all rights but he never kept a penny for himself other then what he need to feed his family. I can't believe there are people here going "well he stuck his head around crocodiles, thats dumb, i guess its COOL to go that way though" ... the man had a job that had to be done and that few actually do.

so in short give the man some credit ... he brought animal awareness into your home ... IF BILL NYE the SCIENCE GUY DIED DOING AN EXPERIMENT WOULD YOU BE LIKE WELL HE SHOULDNT HAVE MESSING WITH CHEMICALS??? ...

now if bill nye dies my childhood is over

im gonna miss steve irwen (rip)

[Chriz2z]

This is a bummer. RIP

[reductiondesign]

He died doing what he loved, which I think is the best way to go.

RIP.

[basementsong]

I always thought I wouldn't be shocked to hear he'd died while filming something but I actually am :(
rip.

[brentkid]

I can't believe I'm in such shock.

RIP. That guy ruled.

[FASSWcore]

definitely a bummer. that's so sad.

[NoteToSelf]

I think his age adds to the sadness. People like him should live until they're old and wrinkly and need help standing up when they cut a ribbon to a new charity organization.
As someone who is planning on persuing a wildlife rehibilitation career, his death is some of the worst. His charm and knowledge will be greatly missed.
RIP

[orestes96]

Man, You Gotta admit though...getting stabbed by a stingray? Thats prettty hardcore. Rest in Peace Steve.

[Russ Hockenbury]

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the guy from Grizzly Man. Not only did he get eaten by a grizzly, but his wife got eaten as well. Either she was a really slow runner or she tried to save him and couldn't.

At any rate, it's surreal that Steve Irwin is dead. I only hope his lasting legacy won't be dangling his baby in front of that croc. It certainly doesn't deserve to be.

[EmoScreamo]

That's pretty asinine if you ask me. The guy was promoting the education of wildlife as his job. He was adored around the world for his uncanny charisma and offbeat charm that made you watch his shows and learn new things about wild animals. He wasn't "messing around" with mother nature. He loved to inform people about different animals as he was trying to do in a underwater documentary and he was killed. Therefore you say he fucked with mother nature too much. I'm going to laugh when you get struck by lightening.

seriously how dumb are you guys. You guys seriously need to calm down. What the guy said before wasn't right but he wasn't in the wrong either. If you ever saw his documentaries it was ridiculous. He put himself in danger most of the time. Always confronting the animals rather than observing from a distance. You guys really need to change what you guys type. Don't mourn someones death by wishing someone else to die. That's ignorant and just plain uncalled for. Many people will voice his opinion, and detah is no laughing matter. I read the previous guys post and it wasn't really that offensive.

[Nate_RAWKS]

Man, You Gotta admit though...getting stabbed by a stingray? Thats prettty hardcore. Rest in Peace Steve.

so true...this guys balls were bigger than anyones in history... i have tons of respect for that and he did what he loved and taught me a bunch of rad stuff about animals.

i tip my hat :toff:

thanks Steve Irwin.

[Chemical Love]

I was actually sad when I heard this news.

[nickyrayxnj]

that really blows :(

[domesticyeti]

i loved this guy.
although if he had to go out, this is probably the way he wouldve wanted. RIP

[secretninja]

aw man. rest in peace.

[ChaoticSerenity]

this is sad... i used to love watching his show... he was such a cool guy... RIP Steve

[TBSowns524]

wow that's awful, he seemed like a fun loving guy. I wish his family the best, especially his little kids.

[wasteoftaste]

i guess the plus side of this is he died doing something he loved. rip steve.

[JohnDorian]

Apparently he died saying "Crocs rule!", according to AOL.

RIP Steve, i feel sorriest for his 8 and 2 year old chldren.

[screamoutmyname]

At least he died doing something he loved... R.I.P.

[A picasso blue]

[sweetmik]

The documentary he was filming was called Ocean's Deadliest. Creepy

[Dan CiTi]

:(

my exgirlfriend and I used to watch his shows all the time.

I wanna write a song about that.

[Saucey McRib]

Steve was a hero. Although I always saw this coming due to the danger of his work, I am still very disappointed that the moment has come. At least he's probably reunited with Sui right now running around in some afterworld. RIP.

[livethedreamxxx]

definitely ruined my morning.
rip.

[silverloydstein]

RIP Steve.. u were, are, will be the best nature dude.

[unholy_amanda]

I grew up on Steve Irwin. I'll miss this guy. He was awesome. Rest in Peace Steve.

[RandomHero1230]

it's horrible that he died but the dude was a fuckin moron...between jumping on crocs and practically holding his kid in front of one, you knew nothing good was gonna happen

[SaoFoldSurvive]

you would think he'd probably die because of a crocodile. but not a damn stingray. rip steve =[

[spencersface]

you would think he'd probably die because of a crocodile. but not a damn stingray. rip steve =[

Nah, he was the Godfather of crocodiles. RIP

[Basketcase]

this is terrible news. i used to watch his show every once in awhile. he made learning about wildlife very entertaining. at least he died doing what he loves. may he rest in peace.

[J_169]

tragic news. i thought it was some sort of wind up wen i heard it on the radio. he dies a legend

[JohnDorian]

He's apparently the first person on record since 1943 to be killed by a stingray, don't know if that's worldwide or just Austrailia, or true.

[Venona]

A tribute to him is airing tonight at 6 Eastern time on Animal Planet.

[xXHeyLushXx]

This really sux. RIP

[make_this_hurt]

This made me sad. Fo rizzle.

[shambles]

Just to clear up, he wasn't "wrestling" the stingray or whatever. The stingray was under the sand and he didn't see it, swam too close, it got frightened and killed him. Horrible luck.

r.i.p.

[nicklegend]

i miss steve way too much already.
