He was stung by a stingray whilst diving off of Cairns, Australia. The first person, apparantly, to die from a stingray attack in Australia since 1945.<br>Freak accident by all accounts, but what a way to go heh? You spend your life winding up alligators and poisonous snakes and spiders, and you get killed by a placid fish LOL
a great shame.<br>my thoughts go out to <br>terri and the kids.<br>CRIKEY MATE WHAT A WAY TO GO
R.I.P
I just ask myself, why did he not put on any Ambre Solaire factor 30 +.
It protects you from harmfull rays………

But is it water resistant? ;)
Yeah, I echo Keith’s comment. My mum loved the guy, his program was her favorite. I enjoyed his antics too.<br>He was refreshing to watch, as well as being a big kid at heart. He ploughed a lot of his earnings back into conservation and animal welfare, for that he has my utter respect.
RIP Steve, you will be sorely missed.
On a serious note.<br> The man was a true character. Almost a bloody idiot.
I just think its sad that he wasn’t killed by a crocadile. I think he would have been happier with that.
Shame………..
"crikey" what a great guy, brave, loved by many, not stupid atall in my opinion, he will be sadly missed and I for one enjoyed his crocodile diaries series, much better than a lot of the crap we see on TV these days like Dr Who and Big Brother to name two.

I’d never seen his shows, but … ironically …
A couple of days ago, I was flicking through the channels and found the start of a prog with a guy who handles venomous snakes.
As I was watching as a snake was trying to have a go at him, spitting venom left right and centre but failing to get him in the eyes, I looked at the guy on the TV and thought:
"your career has a very predictable end, mate, and it’s not through old age retirement"
and then yesterday croc boy gets done in doing one of his wild life progs.
And I can just imagine the stingray saying to the crocs:
"that’s how you deal with him …
… you pussy lizards"<br>

Peter Brookes’ Nature Notes cartoon in The Times today is a tad insensitive but highly amusing:
