Stephen Robert Irwin (Steve Irwin), Born 22th February 1962, was pierced by a barb of a stingray on 4th September 2006 while doing an underwater diving expedition. According to The Star Papers, he swam too near to one of the Stingray and did not expect the venomous barb to pierce under his ribcage, and put an immediate hole into his heart.
Steve was famous for his unparred courage and loving attitude towards reptiles, creatures that are ordinary humans dislike and feel uncomfortable to even look into the creature’s eyes. Steve’s attitude and with the broadcasting of Crocodile Hunter, won him international celebrity fame.
The irony of his death was that, Steve Irwin was killed by a rather passive, peaceful fish rather than a dangerous, proactive reptiles or creatures that he used to handle.
I was shocked when I saw this news on the papers, I mean, how can such a man who handle so many deadly crocodiles, reptiles and always goes, “Crikey, look at that piece of beauty!” died in such a manner? It is just too unfair somehow, he did not anticipate such a coming too eh? And now, the world lost a wonderful enviromentalist, who loves reptile in such a manner that many idolize him and getting influenced by him. 44 years, is just too young for such a man to be gone from us.
“Rest In Peace Steve Irwin, One who loves the nature, one who changes human perspective towards nature”
“I consider myself a wild-life warrior. My mission is to save the world’s endangered species.” -Steve Irwin
