Stung by a stingray...

"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 Stainton, who was on board Irwin's boat at the time.

Man, couldn't see THAT coming.

Sure puts those years and years of stupid stunts he did in a little bit of perspective...

Its a totaly sad and ironic ending for this animal loving, kind hearted man. I guess when you brush against death as many times as he did, its bound to bite you someday.

EDIT: MY bad, Walker beat me to it. Of course, he didn't really LABEL his post in such a way as would indicate the content, so I ain't apologizin'
