Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin has died after a string-ray barb caught him in the chest on Monday, September 4 2006.
The 44-year-old hugely popular Australian television personality and conservationist was swimming off the Great Barrier Reef filming an underwater documentary when the incident happened. Irwin was at Batt Reef, off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland state, shooting a segment for a series called “Ocean’s Deadliest” when he swam too close to one of the animals, which have a poisonous barb on their tails, his friend and colleague John Stainton said.
Irwin was known for his popular television show The Crocodile Hunter and his work with native Australian wildlife.
Irwin leaves his wife Terri and young children Bob and and Bindi.
