OMG!! Of all the things...

Steve Irwin dead in stingray attack

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin has been killed in a stingray attack near Cairns on Australia's far north coast.

It was believed Irwin had been swimming off the coast of Cairns when he was stung.

"It is understood he was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest," Brisbane's Courier Mail reported this afternoon.

The 44-year-old is survived by his wife and two children, Bindi and Robert.

Don't get me wrong, along with most Australians, I really disliked him and the fact that he is an "Australian icon." But dear god, of all the things he plays with (spiders, snakes, crocodiles) a freaking Stingray kills him!! Crikey, that's gotta suck!

I'd laugh if I didn't feel so sorry for his family. *shakes head*
