mandragoraSo 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.
