Holy crap, it's almost suspicious. I mean, right in the heartWasingtonPost.com said:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...6090400414.html
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."

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.

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.
is the video on the net by any chance?
