please dont flame if i get the story wrong, im pretty sure this is what happened he was filming underwater and he swam above a stingray and it retaliated in defence. the stingray only attacks for defence usually. Irwin would not want people getting mad at stingrays for what happened. i feel bad that a legend has died, but please answer this honestly: were you really expecting him to live much longer the way he lives his life? i'm not saying anything is wrong with it, i actually live a risky life too. it's like nascar, driving with 40 other race cars inches apart at 200 plus miles an hour and not expecting someone to get injured or worse?
