Hi mates,
man mag seine Art oder auch nicht, jedenfalls hier die Meldung aus den news:
THE Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, is dead. It is believed he was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest.
He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas filming an underwater documentary when it happened.
Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality today at Batt Reef off Port Douglas.
It is understood Irwin was killed around noon, Eastern Australian time.
A source said Irwin was already when his body was brought on to the island.
His body was being flown to Cairns Hospital in North Queensland for formal identification.
It's believed Mr Irwin's American-born wife Terri is trekking on Cradle Mountain in Tasmania and has yet to be told of her husband's death.
Irwin - known worldwide as the Crocodile Hunter - is famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchcry "Crikey!".
The father of two's Crocodile Hunter program was first broadcast in 1992 and has been shown around the world on cable network Discovery.
He's also starred in movies and has developed the Australia Zoo wildlife park, north of Brisbane, which was started by his parents Bob and Lyn Irwin.
