Steve Irwin, The Croc Hunter, Dead!

[Royal Flush]

Is he actually dead?

His death was reported about 2-3 years ago but it was all a hoax.

Sad if he is.

[Rookie (Rodney)]

Wasn't really a dangle ala michael jackson
More of an introduction as his parents did to him, hence his respect and rapport with nature.

i agree. No need to call him a fool!

[Sark79]

Yep,  David Bellamy talked about it on the news.  David Attenburgh spoke briefly on the radio and he doesn't joke about things like this

[Junior Senior]

I'm affraid to say he's deffo gone this time flushy.

very sad news, i feel for his family. - a terrible loss in deed

[Rod Paradise]

the guy was a fool.

what he did with his kid was sick.

C'mon John - what he did with his kid was stupid - but he knew what he was doing in that environemnt. I'd say taking a baby on a motorbike was stupid - but some people would be perfectly safe doing it.

[Sark79]

He knew what he was doing,  who else knew Crocs as well as him.

i think he was a fool for doing it. same as if somone took a kid on a motorbike was stupid.

The baby thing is shocking.  He have known what he was doing but the croc didn't.  The clip where he takes his girl in too is a bit worrying, she must have been scared shitless.

thank you at last somone else to agrees

[dik9]

I have to disagree, although it looks shocking its HIS culture and how he was raised. I have no doubt that if anything freakish did happen he would have sacrificed himself rather than harm his baby. At least that is what i would like to think?

I agree

[johnlarsson]

yeh i would like to think the same.

but if the croc attacked and he jumped in the way.  what happens to the baby.

is it dropped from height onto a contreat ground?

I have to say i loved watching the bloke, exhilarating TV.
He will be sadly missed, RIP Steve.

However the baby thing was just wrong and for those who say that it was ok because he knew what he was doing and understands crocs so well.............how come he got bit himself several times??

[Newmanseye]

the reverse angle shows the baby is in no real harm as steve positioned himself between the crock and the baby. Jeeze the bloke has passed on and this is what you comment on???


It reflects more on you than on him if this is what you remember him for.

I recall he was crying once over a crock he had known for years when he came accross her lying dead, she had passed on in her sleep and he was grief sticken.

He truely loved nature and he knew the dangers as well as the beauty of it.
