Salka Posted September 4, 2006 Funny. Apparently those Stingrays only attack when provoked. Irwin didn't seem like the kind of guy who would repeatedly provoke a dangerous animal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From reading the USA Today article, it comes across as a complete accident. Terrible shame he had to go, but when you're living on the edge like that it's almost bound to happen.

Nick Posted September 4, 2006 Taken from the BBC news article on it... the bbc said: only one other person is known to have died in Australia from a stingray attack, at St Kilda, Melbourne in 1945 Earlier it said there where none but it's been updated since this morning. Apparently it punctured his heart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
