'Crocodile Hunter' killed by stingray
Steve Irwin, TV's "Crocodile Hunter," was killed by a stingray barb to the heart early today.
Irwin is survived by his American-born wife, Terri, and two children: Bindy Sue, 8, and Bob, 3.
Denise and greatly enjoyed his show. Irwin was a naturalist, to be sure, but also a showman, whose contagious enthusiasm for animals and the world of nature was hard not to share.
He'll be missed- not least of all by his fans. Terri, Bindy Sue, and Bob were regularly featured on his shows, and it almost seems as if we know them. They'll be in our prayers.
ADDENDUM: Drudge shares this Australian report on Irwin's death.
ADDENDUM II: Another Australian article, with more detail.
ADDENDUM III: I am really a bit ticked at myself for having called Terri Irwin "Cindy," and not catching the mistake for forty-eight hours.
Comes of blogging before my first cup of coffee in the morning.
