'Crocodile hunter' Steve Irwin killed by a stingray

Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality and environmentalist whose brush with crocodiles and other wildlife experiences made us all his fans. Irwin collapsed after being stung by a Stingray on the chest. This happened when Irwin was doing what he always loved to do - filming an underwater documentary for his viewers.
The expedition for the documentaru was near the resort town of Port Douglas, about 1,260 miles north of Brisbane. Crew members aboard Irwin's Croc One (Boat) called emergency services and rushed the boar to meet a rescue helicopter, but all along Irwin was already dead.
Irwin ,44 the father of 2 kids started his television programme Crocodile Hunter, that was first aired in Australia in 1992. He was a brave man known for his dangerous stunts with wild animals. The man did bring in a lot of controversy though; especially when he held his baby in one arm while feeding large crocodiles inside a zoo pen. The man also praised by the Australian authorities for his effort in promoting Tourism in Australia.
However the man who brought wildlife especially the World of Crocodiles to our Television has perished - his last moments were with the wild. And the World is surely going to miss him.
