Steve Irwin is dead. :(
I just read the news about this... still kind of in shock although I always knew it was a possibility that something might happen. Apparently he was diving and a stingray barb hit his chest. The poison must have gone straight to his heart, because he died of cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital. I had tremendous respect for him just because of his attitude towards animals that most people are afraid of. Even if he did put himself at risk and he was a showman, he still convinced me that he genuinely cared about the animals he handled.
Maybe he's now somewhere playing with all those snakes and spiders and they can no longer hurt him. I'm really sad for his family, with two young children who will grow up only knowing about him through the news and through what their mother tells them. Hopefully his legacy will inspire them to also be as respectful of wildlife as their father.
RIP STEVE!
