skyline Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 This really bums me out All the dangerous stuff he does, and he dies in a way that you'd never expect. Stingray deaths are very very rare. The barb just happened to pierce his heart... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 All the dangerous stuff he does, and he dies in a way that you'd never expect.Maybe, but still this is hardly unpredictable, eh? Play with fire and eventually you get burned. I keep waiting for that "snake hunter" guy to get it, too.Sucks, tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know...it's the guys like this that seem to always live until they're 100. Sure, they usually have a wooden leg or two, but you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBengalfan Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 That is a shame, but how else could you see him dying.......All i could say is that the man lived for the moment, that rush of adrendaline, I guess you can say that he lived on the edge. ......All I can say is that i couldnt see myself picking up the newspaper and seeing the cover saying irwin dies choaking on a Sandwich anyway cheers to you Steve you will be missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Even when they are under duress, they don't usually attack." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
