The Crocodile Hunter
Posted September 4, 2006
Today was the last day for Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter.
"BRISBANE, Australia-- Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the Crocodile Hunter, was killed today (Sept. 4, 2006) by a stingray barb to the heart during a diving expedition, Australian media reported. He was 44.
The accident happened while he was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state, Sydney's "Daily Telegraph" newspaper reported on its Web site.
The paper and other Australian media reporting the death cited police or state government sources.
The Australian Broadcasting Corp. said Irwin was diving near Low Isles near the resort town of Port Douglas, about 1,260 miles north of Brisbane." -- Sept. 4, 2006, St. Petersburg Times, St. Petersburg, FL. Section B, page 2B.
What dissapoints me the most, is that the article didn't even make the front page, or even a mention on it. *Sigh*.
