MOURN STEVE IRWIN
CRIKEY.Apparently the Crocodile Hunter is not invincible.Irwin died in a freak accident while swimming off the Great Barrier Reef,taking the poisonous barb of a stingray's tail to the heart last weekend.That's what happens when you go outside your field of expertise — he should've stuck to crocodiles.
Surely no one will be able to match his enthusiasm and ballsy ability to approach any reptile.
