Crocodile Hunter DEAD

[Finesse]

Deepest sympathies to the Irwin family .... His poor little kids and wife. Saw this late last night ...and was just totally shocked to read it. Sadly Ironic that he died in this fashion, a stinger from a ray, given what he typically plays with. When I saw the news I figured a snake bite took his life.

In my eyes there is no "good" way to go ..... but at least he was doing what he loved when he did.

Very very sad

Who was Billy Verbanas? Not being ignorant, just never heard of him.

Captain Verbanas was one of the finest shark fishermen on the East coast. He died when he got wrapped up in the leader handling a mako and went overboard. It was a shock to see someone with his experience and skills have such a dreaded accident.

Grew up watching Steve Irwin, I couldn't believe that, He has done so much for bringing the animals to the forefront. We will all miss you Steve. God bless.

He died doing what he loved, though.

Thats all we can ask for.To go doing what you love
