unbelievable i thought that son of a gun would live forever. to the family, wife and 2 young children goes my best wishes and sympathy. This is a very sad occurence
very sad. Unfortunately, he and his wife spoke often on how they thought they and at least he would die from his trade. Doesn't make it easier on his child Many prayers go to his family.
Man, if that's true, that's sad. I know he had a reputation for being goofy and out there with his actions, but you could tell he loved what he did and believed in it. RIP Mr. Irwin.
Man that's sad. But it's the life they live. Irwin, Jeff Corwin and the like. Always a moment away from death.
What are the odds of a freaking string ray doing him in? You'd think it'd be a croc.. or maybe a snake.. but a ray.. man, thats off the wall. +
Wow! That's really sad. I would always make fun of the guy and his crazy accent. But deep down inside, I always knew that the man loved what he did and he had more courage that I'll ever have. RIP
