Media statement – 4 September 2006

Steve Irwin

At 11am today, 4 September 2006, Steve Irwin was fatally wounded by a stingray barb to his heart while filming a sequence on Batt Reef off Port Douglas for a new TV series.

Emergency services were called from Cairns Rescue Base and met Croc One, Steve’s rescue vessel, at Low Isle on the Great Barrier Reef.
The Croc One crew performed constant CPR during the thirty-minute dash to Low Isle, but Steve was pronounced deceased at 12 noon by Queensland Ambulance Services personnel.

His producer and closest friend, John Stainton said on Croc One today,
“The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet. He died doing what he loves best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind. Steve would have said, ‘Crocs Rule!’”

The family wishes to advise that all donations go to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide

whats so funny kevin?
how'd you like to be stab by a stingray

 

[Phew]

This was really sad, it just shocks the whole nation of Australia, everyone in town talks about it and he is surly being missed by everyone. Steve was such a cool guy, I met in Australia Zoo many years ago with his wife, he was really wonderful. He was an Aussie icon and a hero to the wildlife. Never thought he would die this way, and throughout all his life, he plays with more dangerous things.
I'll surly miss him and my condolences to his wife, Terri and his young kids

Man I was so shocked when I heard the news on radio while driving to work this morning. I was like "NOOOO...Not the Crocadile guy!" I mean, I love his shows. He's so daring and courageous, and now he's gone - and not from the danger of crocs either, from a sting ray. Who woould've thought? It just shows how much death is unexpected and can happen anytime, anywhere, and in any way....
