Steve "Croc Hunter" Irwin Died
Steve Irwin, the famous Australian environmentalist and television personality was killed by a stingray barb through the chest on Monday while filming an underwater documentary in Queensland's Great Barrier Reef.
Mr Irwin had built up what was a small reptile park in Queensland into what is now Australia Zoo, a major centre for Australian wildlife. He was famous for handling dangerous creatures such as crocodiles, snakes and spiders, and his documentaries on his work with crocodiles drew a worldwide audience.
I saw the news on BBC this morning,the only thing I can say is I WAS SHOCKED.how things work out is very strange,somebody who used to fight and wrestle with crocudiles has died simply by being stung.Is like our legends of Bahram-e-Goor.
God Bless his soul.

It's a pity. He was one of the funniest and nicest people ever and I loved his programmes.
By the way he didn't simply die by a sting, the bloody stingray actually pierced his chest and heart. He died because of heart injury not venom :(

I'm Iranian living in Australia, and I liked his programmes. We will all miss him.
I also liked your Bahrame Goor analogy:
Esteev (!) ke maar migerefti hameh omr,
didi ke chegooneh maar esteev gereft!!
Cheers cobbers
