RIP Steve Irwin

Shit.
I say do it. If it was his will, then it must be done.
He'll be missed.

Sounds like bullshit to me. They just want to show the video. Who would want others to see them dying? Some sick fcks, that's who. That's my stand.

I just heard that the stingray that killed him, was buried under the sand, so no one saw it. So, its really nothing he did, no one saw it and when he swam over it, it got startled and stabbed him.

i thought he was swiming along with it, got over top of it, then stabed him, didn't know it was sitting still in the sand

[poormillionaire2]

Yeah, I don't think most people know that, so they blame him, for being stupid and stuff. Sure, he put himself in some dangerous situations, but this wasn't by his mistake.

Where did you hear that at? The poison of the barb stopped his heart... I don't think leaving the poisonous thing in would have helped.

I've been stung in the foot by a small stingray, it is by far the most painful thing I have ever endured, and this was like a baby stingray.

Anything that breaches the heart leads to instant death, unfortunatley.

Just saw on the news that his family isnt going to hold a state funeral and is instead going for a private one.

[ZL1power69]

yea i can under stand y that killed him, the hole the barb put in his heart, combined with the venom/bacteria. also when u pull those out it causes even more damage. i think he had so much adrenalin that he was alive just long enough to pull the barb out.
and they declined the state funeral because they think he is a regular guy and that he would want to be treated as such.

[poormillionaire2]

He didn't pull it out, the medics or whoever was helping him pulled it out. I guess they thought that would be better. I'm pretty sure he died instantly.

And I don't blame his family for deciding to go with a private funeral. Less press and people who didn't actually know him. May he rest in peace.

[ZL1power69]

his producer john said he was dead when they pulled him up.

There is also less chance there will be a jerk off who is trying to ruin a moment and shout "Go Stingrays!" during a prayer or something.

With todays world I wouldn't doubt someone would do that.

You're absolutly right. I don't know about other places, but here in St. Louis, they had to actually enact a law prohibiting PROTESTS 1 hour before and 1 hour after funerals. Apparently, there have been people protesting about the war during soldier's funerals! HOW F-ing ridiculous is that? Makes you wonder what the world is coming to these days.

[ZL1power69]

you think people would have more desency and respect than that but there are some real ignorant people in the world today.

[poormillionaire2]

Yeah, its literally unbelievable what some people do. Just when you think people can't get any more ignorant or dumber, they prove you wrong. Its really sad. What ever happened to natural selection? Get rid of the dumb ones and let the smart, strong ones survive.
