Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, Dies

A tragedy occured Monday in Australia as Steve Irwin, aka The Crocodile Hunter, was stabbed in the chest by a stingray while filming for an upcoming documentary. Apparently, he was swimming through the water and passed over the sting ray; the barb hit him directly in the heart and his death was almost instantaneous.

I just thought I'd post this in my blog because his death is such a tragedy, not only for the outdoor/wildlife/environmental community. He was a father as well, to an 8-year-old daughter and a son who was almost 3. So disheartening...

Here are some links to some articles and videos regarding the story: http://www.kwqc.com/Global/story.asp?S=5365009, http://kutv.com/entertainment/entertainment_story_248063855.html

Pray for his family and those close to him.
