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.

I completely agree with your comment - I have never been a fan, and I think that it's pretty pathetic that he is probably the most well known Australian, but it's still very sad. (Though slightly amusing that it was a stingray that killed him).
