How quickly has this news travelled around the offices in Australia... e-mails flying everywhere

Crazy stuff

it's sad but i guess he died what he loved doing best, and lived his life to the full

now lets watch our media cannonise this great man for his philanthropic contributions towards the greater good of Australia and mankind in general, while other world issues of little significance take the back seat

Damn, that really sucks.


He was one of the funniest Australian 'celebrities' that I have ever seen and he was definitely full of life.


RIP, mate.

Mr Irwin's body was being flown to Cairns.

Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality this morning at Batt Reef off Port Douglas.

It is believed Mr Irwin's American-born wife Terri is trekking on Cradle Mountain in Tasmania and has yet to be told of her husband's death.

...

The Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) said a call was received about 11am (AEST) and an emergency services helicopter was flown to the boat on Batt Reef off the coast near Cairns with a doctor and emergency services paramedic on board.
Mr Irwin had a puncture wound to the left side of his chest and he was pronounced dead at the scene.


Sucks for his wife. Half the country knows it and she doesn't.

RIP Steve

we have our replacement irwin- simon hunter!

how many simons have you tracked down and kidnapped simon hunter?

When I first heard this tonight, I didn't believe it..but I am shocked and still trying to make sense of this. This man was one of my biggest inspirations. He had a relationship with all of nature, living and non-living that one day I hope to achieve. I would say passively he made alot of people aware of animals. I really want to know what type of sting-ray that killed him because during our univeristy beach seines down in seal beach California, we pull up close to 150 sting rays per day and yes each one is handled individually. My deepest condolences go out to Terri and the rest of the family as well as australia zoo, I hope his legacy lives on.

yeh i was in abit of shock when i heard it as well... i assumed he got mauled by a croc, but when i heard it was a ray i was like whaaaaat

he sure had a character to him regardless of how goofy he was, but i guess thats why everyone loved him...

RIP Mr Irwin

heh so true.
to be honest i laughed myself silly when i heard this; not so much out of humour but more disbelief. sorry for being insensitive but i suppose he wouldnt have wanted to go any otherway. its still kinda of weird thinking about it, he was one of the few icons that got the attention they deserved and for a good cause. you never saw him in the tabloids or in a bad light. RIP, hopefully wildlife conservation doesnt go to shit now.
