Crocodile Hunter Dies...

EchoMinor	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 2:41 AM this is rather sad, i really enjoyed the fellow, was one of my favorite shows. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14663786/
Opossum	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 3:07 AM This feels strange. We've seen his shows in public and have talked to him (so have our children). We saw him more, prior to his marriage. I still remember how he said they would marry with snakes around their necks.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 4:22 AM It seems so weird that the guy swings around venoumous snakes whose bite has no anti-dote and death can occur in seconds, handles deadly scorpions and spiders, swims with killer sharks, wrestles crocodiles and then is done in by a relatively harmless creature ordinarily...fate can be so cruel ... Anyway, it's a tragic waste of life, with young kids the guy should have been taking it easy and not putting himself at risk this way, it's one thing to be a single 20 something acting reckless but to do this stuff as a married with children aged 40 something. Sympathies to the family, this is just so sad....
TruonGLe	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 4:46 AM NOOOOO!!!!!!!111111 WHY????? WHYY??? RIP crocodile hunter.
jewsus	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 5:41 AM crazy...would've never thought he'd go out like that. his presence will be missed by fellow animal planet watchers.

sinai	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 10:14 AM yeah its pretty shitty...damn sting rays! i wonder if "Crikey!!" will be on his headstone?
EchoMinor	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 10:28 AM ya know, i'd put crikey on there, its his trademark word.

K3VIN	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 11:11 AM Anyway, it's a tragic waste of life, with young kids the guy should have been taking it easy and not putting himself at risk this way, it's one thing to be a single 20 something acting reckless but to do this stuff as a married with children aged 40 something i heard about this earlier... and this WAS his job!! this is how he took care of his kids and wife... slow down what he loved to do? kids are important but it doesnt mean u should halt ur life.. he did so much for animals and eco systems etc. its people like him who help keep the world together. you clearly do not know much about the ocean.. killer sharks? no not really. you have to understand all jobs have there risks and theres thousands of people like him who do the same thing but are just not as popular...
GeneHilbert	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 11:37 AM Very damn odd...... just goes to show...... one never knows.
BOWILLIE	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 11:40 AM what a terrible thing.
Svensta	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 11:50 AM From his IMDb bio: "He tells his camera crew to always be filming. If he needs help, he will ask for it. Even if he is eaten by a shark or croc, the main thing he wants is that it be filmed. If he died, he would be sad if no one got it on tape." I imagine it will be on YouTube before too long now.
EchoMinor	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 12:45 PM regardless of the fact that he left two children and a wife behind, perhaps it was ment to be. a great person we will remember, those type of people become even greater after they have passed, perhaps this was his destiny.
MindSculpture	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 2:46 PM Crikey! I think everybody enjoyed steve's shows. Let's face it, he was a bit mental - you wouldn't get me in there with the crocs and the snakes, but Steve did it in style! Who would have ever guessed he would go at the hands of a stingray????
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 3:36 PM a sad loss, i watched many of his shows, especially the ones where he would dice with almost certain death in the face of a croc, such a crazy fellow but he was devoted to animals. rest in peace, Steve.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 5:40 PM The only other reported death by stingray in Queensland was reported in 1945. They reckon that it was't the venom from the sting that did him in, but that the spine is like being cut by a very long, sharp machete and as it happened to him in his chest, the trauma was increased. Anyway, when you take that many risks you're playing Russian Roulette with your life and sooner or later the chamber won't be empty when you click the trigger. Once again, very sad story. My thoughts go out to his wife and children.
tsand19151	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 5:41 PM Of course I work at the Discovery Channel which owns Animal Planet and folks are in shock around here. He was truly loved. Although I didn't watch his show at home I know he really loved animals and devoted his life to protect and educate people about them. Sure, he was a little nuts but he was passionate about his work. I pray his wife and kids find comfort....
Israfel	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 9:09 PM He died doing what he loved. Not many people can say that. I'm sure, though sad, his friends and family would say the same.
imemine	Date: September 4, 2006 @ 9:28 PM
tsand19151	Date: September 5, 2006 @ 10:12 AM I remember the craziest thing I saw him do was on a show about snakes. He came upon this snake pit. He couldn't see inside so he reached inside and pulled out a snake, showed it off then put it back and grabbed another one...did this about 3 or 4 times. I just watched with my jaw dropped....Also, I get to see outtake footage from his shows that never make it to TV. You wouldn't believe how many times he's come close to dying before.
GeneHilbert	Date: September 5, 2006 @ 10:41 AM One of the funniest episodes of South Park was when they parodied him... I'm going to stick my thumb up this crocodiles bum..... that will really piss him off.

tsand19151	Date: September 5, 2006 @ 11:27 AM Bum Hunter is pretty funny too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBDbP7rbNjM
GeneHilbert	Date: September 5, 2006 @ 12:22 PM LOL........
PrincessTast...	Date: September 5, 2006 @ 12:24 PM Wow. My GOD. I didn't even watch the show that often (my brother's the creature fanatic of the family) but, you know, wow. I'm speechless.
K3VIN	Date: September 5, 2006 @ 1:28 PM bum hunters actually disgusts me.
Cryxan	Date: September 6, 2006 @ 5:21 AM What a loss.
wailingmiserere	Date: September 6, 2006 @ 10:00 AM Very sad indeed. I heard Australia want to give him a full state funeral.
shutyatrap	Date: September 7, 2006 @ 8:04 AM His family appear to have turned down the offer of a state funeral as it really didn't fit into the person that he was. Steve!! He was just your average Australian who liked playing with Snakes and Swimming with Sharks.... Well not really he was one hell of a great personality and he will be missed from what I have seen here on Australian TV in all parts of the world. Steven (Not the Croc Hunter but I am the trap shutter)Davies
vladb	Date: September 7, 2006 @ 10:25 AM It really is odd; his shows kinda annoyed me, but i still sat back and took notice about his death. A bad thing to happen to a good, if a bit OTT, man. RIP
joycedavis	Date: October 7, 2006 @ 2:43 PM sad. but the world got to enjoy a gift for awhile. and so did his great little family. i saw the barbara walters special and the family looks like they are tight and feel close to him...it's still a tear in my eye. rest in jd
aflunky	Date: October 7, 2006 @ 4:43 PM Crikey! I'm dead..... RIP
