CRIKEY!

Holy crap! "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin is DEAD!

Giant croc? White shark? Spitting cobra?

NO! Stingray!

"He came on top of the stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart," said Stainton, who was on board Irwin's boat at the time.

A stingray? Who ever gets killed by a stingray? How ignominious is that?

That's like Philippe Petit falling off a chair!

1962 - 2006
