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.

See, as a child, at the Sealife Centre, we were always told they were vicious buggers in the wild (though yes, unless allergy means otherwise, it's unlikely to kill a person). Amazing how you get different scientific views 10 years later.
