It is possible that at the time I write this post, His wife does not yet know the fate of her husband.
I recently blogged about the death of “Harriet” the Galapagos Turtle in the Australia (S.Irwin owned) Zoo near Brisbane. Now, it seems, her master has also been brought home.
My Canadian/Australian family have had a lot of fun at Mr. Irwins’s expense (while loving every minute of it and buying Steve Irwin action dolls.) but in realty, his nutty behaviour was in part to raise awareness for the critters of the world. His Mega Zoo benefited too of course. In a way he is like the Jaques Cousteau of his generation. I will miss him. Crikey! What a riort.
He was killed in a freak accident in Cairns, police sources said.
It appeared that he was killed by a sting-ray barb that went through his chest, Queensland Police Inspector Russell Rhodes said.
He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas filming an underwater documentary and that’s when it occurred.
