Just thought I'd post this. Can't say it's too surprising, but still

Wow. I'm not surprised either...

I watched his show and the things he did were a bit over the top...

0.o omfg he did?? poor guy.... wait what happened???? So lost

Click the link, darling :3

Or I suppose I could tell you. He was stung in the chest by a stingray while shooting a documentary. As far as I know, it pierced a hole in his heart and he died.

There were Snakes on his plane, there were no survivors

I found that out last night with a bunch of my friends. We looked it up on wikipedia to make sure.

Actually I am suprised. He took every precaution and always respected the power of all those animals he delt with. The article was right, it was very freakish since people getting killed by stingrays is actually somewhat uncommon. Of course, getting stabbed in the heart by one is a different story....I think that would take even Chuck Norris down.

I am a bit surprised it happened so soon. I know he's been at it for some years, but it still seemed to happen a bit quick. I never knew much about what percations he took, but eh, yea... freaky

I'm going to write a 12 minute long folk song about this called "Australian Pie".

Noooot even.

Would you like it if some guy grabbed you by the back of the neck, shoved your face in the camera and said "CRIKEY LOOKIT DIS SHAYLA!"

It's no big surprise, but it is weird how he died, considering those kinds of stingrays are really, really passive.

There have been 3 deaths from stingrays in the last century... 4 now.

Jeeze... that's insane. What kind of luck (or lack there of) is that...

Yeah, how many millions of tourists have paid to swim with stingrays having never seen one before, and the animal expert manages to die. Hell, I've been swiming with stingrays. According to the resident stinray expert at the time stringrays have no teeth to speak of and only use thier stinger as an last resort as they then have to spend months defensless growing it back. On the off chance your are stung, it hurts quite a bit, but is far from fatal, unless it would seem somehow the stingray manages to get under your rib-cage and force the stinger in deep enoough to pierce your heart. Crazy.

Yea i know it's fucked up but funny as hell.

That's badass! I'm laughing all by myself.......can't stop.....

I can't believe he died. I got a phone call from my grandmother, Which woke me up, at like 9 AM saying that he died by a stingray that stung him in the heart. Then she asked what a stingray was.

And that pic is fucked up but funny.

That post made me laugh.
