I just read that too and it completely bummed me out. I LOVED watching that guy and he was so enthusiastic about what he was doing. I feel for his family and my prayers are with them

Ditto, that's never good. A barb through his chest??

 

[hotmustang331]

Yea makes me wonder how big the darn sting ray was...jeeze.

 

[jasonh_86]

Man.. That sucks!

I would like to see pics of this stingray

 

[gtstangau]

Damn, that sucks I always loved watching his show. That man was crazy, im really suprised it took this long the way he acted around all those deadly animals though. I feel sorry for his wife and kids though that would be rough!

stingrays can get quite large:



with serrated barbs up to 10 inches long:





though it is VERY rare to be killed by one....a poisonous barb poking a hole in your heart is just dumb facking luck. crikey

My uncle has a signed photograph of him.

I know....it sucks.......he will be missed. One of the world truely "great" human beings..........

 

[RED2001GT]

The big question now is whether or not the sting ray be charged with manslaughter and/or murder?
Rest in peace Steve.

i just heard the news too...pretty big shock, even though I knew it was coming sooner or later. Bad thing is thats only the 3rd case of a sting ray attack killing someone in australia.

Even though it was doing something he loved, that's still a bad way to go.

 

[stangGT97]

this is sad... he was one of the few good people left on TV. I feel for his family, but like was said, at least he died doing what he loved.

Why couldn't this happen to Geraldo?

RIP Steve

 

[GDawg]

That's really sad to hear. I really liked him.

...but it was almost inevitable that something fatal would happen. He and a few others like him, really push the limits with these dangerous animals.

 

[Tally_4.6]

When my dad told me i was shocked, i really liked steve. RIP man.

 

[DBMSTNG]

i always thought he'd end up getting himself killed by an animal. you can only tempt fate so many times. sad to hear. i feel for his family.

 

[03ghoststang]

damn this really sucks i liked watching his shows, he really pushed it to the limit being next dangerous and poisonous animals............R.I.P Steve

 

[TrueBlue03]

that guy was my idol. up until i started college, i was convinced i would become a herpetologist. (seriously, no joke)

i feel so bad for his family. best of luck to them through this hard time.
R.I.P. Steve
