主题：澳洲著名的鳄鱼猎手呜呼了，就是探索频道经常放的，居然是stingray
内容：
Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin killed
Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state when he was stung, Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site.
He collapsed at Batt Reef, near Low Isle and the resort town of Port Douglas, Queensland state police said in a statement. Port Douglas is about 1,260 miles north of Brisbane, the state capital.
A rescue helicopter rushed to the scene but Irwin had died, the statement said.
Queensland ambulance service spokesman Bob Hamil confirmed that a diver had been killed by a stingray off Lowe Isles Reef and said cause of death appeared to be a "stingray strike to the chest."
Irwin was famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchword "Crikey!" in his television program "Crocodile Hunter," which was first broadcast in Australia in 1992 and has aired around the world on the Discovery channel.
He rode his image into a feature film, and developed the Australia Zoo as a tourist attraction.
Irwin had received some negative publicity in recent years. In January 2004, he stunned onlookers at the Australia Zoo reptile park by carrying his month-old son into a crocodile pen during a wildlife show. He tucked the infant under one arm while tossing the 13-foot reptile a piece of meat with the other.
Authorities declined to charge Irwin for violating safety regulations.
Later that year, he was accused of getting too close to penguins, a seal and humpback whales in Antarctica while making a documentary. Irwin denied any wrongdoing, and an Australian Environment Department investigation recommended no action be taken.
Irwin was also seen as a vocal critic of wildlife hunts in Australia. The federal government recently dropped plans to allow crocodile safaris for wealthy tourists in the Northern Territory following his vehement objections.
Irwin told the Australian television program "A Current Affair" that "killing one of our beautiful animals in the name of trophy hunting will have a very negative impact on tourism, which scares the living daylights out of me."
He is survived by his American wife Terri, from Eugene, Ore., and their daughter Bindi Sue, 8, and son Bob, who will turn 3 in December.
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, who used a photograph of his family at Australia Zoo for his official Christmas card last year, hailed Irwin for his work in promoting Australia through projects such as "G'Day LA," an Australian tourism and trade promotion week in Los Angeles in January.
"The minister knew him, was fond of him and was very, very appreciative of all the work he'd done to promote Australia overseas," Downer's spokesman Tony Parkinson said.
Stingrays have flat bodies and tails with serrated spines, which contain venom and can cause cuts and puncture wounds. The creatures are not aggressive and injury usually occurs when a swimmer or diver accidentally steps on one.

跟贴：这是他的官方网站上的声明：
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

跟贴：由于俺刚刚从大堡礁回来，所以对这个消息比一般人更加关注。从报道上看，好像是刺鳐的那根毒刺扎入Steve Irwin的心脏而使其致命的。
回想以前出去潜水，常常看到有些人将水下生物当“宠物”去爱（此类人尤其以MM居多），真是无知啊！当然，其中有些也都不同程度地尝过“甜头”。
在对死者表示哀悼之余，还是有句多余的话想说：当时看Steve Irwin的节目时就感觉有些过分，有些忽视安全，没想到......。
唉，都是商业利益的驱使。

跟贴：明白不少人有兴趣挑战大自然的玩意,亦是人类的一种潜在本性. 但这样的意外确实罕见,令人惊讶和伤感.
老生常谈,对大自然的一点尊重亦是对自己的一点尊,对大自然的一点保护亦可以是对自己的一点保护. 如被小丑鱼轻吻,被珊瑚刺伤,大如被鲨鱼咬伤咬死,Stingray扎伤扎死,凡此种种大大小小意外相信亦可减少.
