Id imagen that sting rays are hard to avoid while swiming in the water.
Though a puncture directly to the heart is extremly rare. O-o
But hey, these things happen. No one is truely invincable.
You cant escape danger in land as much as you do in water. Humans are made for land afterall.
Defintly wouldnt expect him to get killed by a land animal. But somehow this isnt too surprising.
Defintly sad new though. A good guy to the end really.

Holy crap, it's almost suspicious. I mean, right in the heartWasingtonPost.com said:
Anyways, R.I.P. @ Steve Irwin. I respect the way he handled animals and cared for them, even though his way of presenting got pretty annoying from time to time IMO.
I never really watch his show, but for some reason I'm really sad right now. I think its because he always appeared to be such a happy guy, and there isn't enough nice people in the world to lose one like him.

I think the rarity of his death (only 17 stingray deaths I think) only compounds the death's manliness.

Witnesses said Irwin was struck directly in the heart.
"It was extraordinarily bad luck," said Shaun Collin, a University of Queensland marine neuroscientist. "It's not easy to get spined by a stingray, and to be killed by one is very rare."

His death was caught completely on camera. The tape was given to Queensland police after the accident and reviewed.
What happened was that Irwin was swimming alongside the stingray and there was a cameraman up ahead looking back and filming. The stingray felt cornered and stuck it's barb into Irwin's chest, it just so happened to puncture his heart. Any other place and Irwin would have survived. It wasn't the toxin that killed him.
All this caught on tape.
