My brother just phoned me and told me the news, he thought his friend was BS'ing him when he told him. Sad news
 
A sad day indeed. He will be missed by many.
Crazy bastard til the end though huh !
 
Are you talking about Bruce Dickinson !!?!?!!?! j/k

seriously


"Doing what you loved dying"......we've heard this one before. Tragic, romantic, chaotic all at the same time.
 
I think Steve would be the first to say right now. Don't mourn rather celebrate his amazing life.

Sure he did some stupid things but heck... what a character.

I think most of Australia is a stunned mullet right now (thats an Oz saying FYI).

RIP Steve
 
I was exetremely sad to hear about Steve Irwan dying. I saw the news on MSN. I absolutely loved the dude when I was a kid. I watched his show for many years. He will be sorely missed by me and by many other people as well. I feel sorry for the Animal Planet channel. The ratings are gonna go down dramatically with Steve Irwan dead. There will never be a new Steve Irwan. Just copy cats.
 
The guy was a shameless exhibitionist who took pleasure in taunting dangerous animals.

You don't see David Attenborough grabbing poisonous snakes by the tail and patronising them while they try and bite him.

If you live by the sword then you will die by the sword.

It was animal cruelty plain and simple. Dispruting wild animals in their natural environment just for TV ratings is wrong. The stress those animals must have suffered while was tormenting them have been terrifying for them.

Why is he a dickhead? The man could have helped animals without taunting them.
