Oh man, this is such a waste. I feel really bad for his family. And the horrible thing is, I'm sure some people will find some way to laugh at this horrible incident.

They always do, they always do.

Aw. I liked his show. It was always entertaining.
For shame. He was cool.

He died doing what he loved to do, and I can only admire him for that. Though I can't help but feel terrible for his family.

Rest in peace.

Yeah, I saw it here this morning. Then I told my mother, who thought it was just an urban legend. It was only when she saw it on CNN that she believed...

It's sad... Although, he occasionally annoyed the CRAP out of me. However, I watched his show all the time.

It's sad that he died.

I hate to admit it, but I did give a little giggle. Not because I hated him or anything (I thought he was funny), but that out of all the times he had been bitten by something poisonous a stingray had gotten the best of him. Atleast he didn't die of a car crash, you know something unfitting of "The Croc Hunter". He will be missed.

Yeah, a sting ray of all things.... then again, maybe it's best that he didn't get killed by a croc, considering he loved them so much and people would say "WELL SEE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MESS WITH CROCODILES".

That's what keeps getting to me. I read on MSNBC that he was actually swimming on top of the stingray. What do you expect from that? He's actually been called on a few times for getting too close to the animals. I guess it was only a matter of time (and an extreme case of bad luck) before something finally happened to him.
Yeah, he was crazy for even doing what he did, but I loved watching the guy. Now I'm wondering what I'll be watching on Animal Planet. It's definitely an immense loss for both the animal world and ours.

I agree with Mr. Marshmallow; At least the man died doing what he was passionate about.

I was told he didn't know that the ray was under him. Oh and you'll be watching reruns of him getting attacked and they caught the attack on tape which was kind of a wish he had long before it happened.

DoubleLatte 09-04-2006 08:31 PM

Haven't seen any reruns of the tape. I feel like it's very morbid of me, but this is actually something I want to take a look at.

In the news it said the police have the tape. I don't think it'll be on air for the public, at least not the actual footage of him being killed.
