Funny. Apparently those Stingrays only attack when provoked.

Irwin didn't seem like the kind of guy who would repeatedly provoke a dangerous animal.

Irwin didn't seem like the kind of guy to repeatedly provoke dangerous animals into attacking him.

From reading the USA Today article, it comes across as a complete accident.

Terrible shame he had to go, but when you're living on the edge like that it's almost bound to happen.

Yeah, he was a great guy, and had wonderful showmanship skills.

He will be missed...

Taken from the BBC news article on it...

only one other person is known to have died in Australia from a stingray attack, at St Kilda, Melbourne in 1945

Earlier it said there where none but it's been updated since this morning. Apparently it punctured his heart :sad:
