So Steve Irwin has been killed whilst filming a wildlife documentary by a stingray.

It did seem that he took risks - I remember the cocodile and poisonous snakes vividly - but I didn't expect the poor man to actually die from it. I know some Aussies found him to be a bit of an embarrassment, but I am sorry to hear the news.

I suppose he died doing something he loved, however I doubt very much he wanted to die from it. He was aged 44.

You'll have gathered by now that I was very serious. Also shocked. Bit like when I heard about Princess Di. *wry smile*

I went to MSN after reading this to get the scoop. I still can't believe it. And I remember hearing about Princess Di. My BIL told me about that, and I didn't believe him, cause he has this habit of, well, lying about everything. I was floored for days, because I remembered being up at 6am watching the wedding.

My heart goes out to his wife and kids.
