STEVE IRWIN KILLED BY STINGRAY BARB

Australian naturalist and animal-lover Steve Irwin has died after being struck in the chest by a stingray's barb. Stingrays have been known to strike with their poisonous barbs when feeling threatened or even when they're accidentally stepped on. It truly saddens me to think that I won't be tuning in to his wacky shows and animal madness any longer. Steve lived his short life to it's fullest and I'm sure he's gazing down upon his family from the Animal Kingdom in the sky. You'll be missed Steve. [source]
