Crikey! I'm fucking dead!

Well it is a sad day today. Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin has been killed at the age of 44 while filming a documentary about the Great Barrier Reef near Queensland. He was felled by a stingray barb through his chest. The crew was quick to scramble, but Irwin was dead before the emergency helicopter arrived on scene. "He came on top of the stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart," said John Stainton, friend and colleague of Irwin.

He is survived by his two children and wife Terri, and he will be sorely missed by thousands of fans around the world.
