Early this morning(0245), PDT, i heard on NWCN Channel 2, that Steve Irwin was killed. in a press release from Australia Zoo, zoo officials stated that Irwin was on a diving expedition on the great barrier reef, filming a documentary, and upon an encounter with a stingray, was impailed by the stingray's barb in the chest, possibly puncturing his heart, and ultimately died of the injury. his crew alerted medical personnel however the doctor pronounced him dead at the scene. he is survived by his wife terri, 8 year old daughter Bindy Sue, and 2 year old son Bob. He was 44 years old

the world has lost a ginormous icon this morning, i know i will keep his family in my prayers.
