For those not familiar with his real name, I'm sure you'll know him by the 'Crocodile Hunter' name and his use of 'crikey'.
Killed either by a stingray or rare jelly fish..details still sketchy. Only happened about an hour ago,
Bloody tragedy...for all his foibles, he was a passionate guy with a young family. bloody tragedy.

I felt that. He was a unique person. With lots of passion! And loved his life to the fullest.
Rest in Peace Mate!

He may have acted like Crocodile Dundee's cuz but he was actually a very intelligent guy who did a lot of good for wildlife conservation in Australia.
Hey Force, did you know he charged in the surf? Haven't seen footage but apparently he ripped in the bigger stuff.
I feel for his family and friends. RIP.

Man, that's kind of sad; mostly from the family perspective. He was married and had a little girl. So sad in that regard. On the other hand, live by the sword, die by the sword.
He seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

Dude - that's the way to go out - a stingray barb right into your heart, pulp fiction style. RESPECT

Gutted, the guy lived on the edge! I have to say I thought he'd have been mauled by a crocodile, or bitten by a snake when I heard he had died! I use to love his show and he was a credit to the environment!

my inlaws have known him since he was a kid - he's done a whole lot for Queensland - death sure does suck.

guy did so much to help us understand the more undesirable creatures.
Stingrays are generally dangerous or aggressive, must've been a freak acident

Talk about someone who had an unbridled enthusiasm for his work. He seemed to love what he did. What a personality.
My condolences to his wife and two young children.

Apparently his wife is hiking down here in Tasmania.
R.I.P.
Hey forcetwelve, Steve has been surfing down Tassie. I heard that from Emo.
