This is just so sad. My prayers go out to his wife and young children.

Just heard about this. Stunned.

Just cannot believe it. A great guy who loved animals and wanted to show them to people in their natural habitat. An incredible loss.

Oh my god I just heard. My DS 9 is so upset he won't even come downstairs. He loved that guy. Wanted to be him when he grows up. My prayers are with his family. How awful for them

Did anyone see the report that his daughter, Bindi, was with him?

I think that has been wrongly reported by the media. I've heard nothing at all about Bindi being with him. He was filming for her show.

The weather up in Cairns and Port Douglas has been a bit rainy the last couple of days, not the best weather for what Steve wanted to do up there. But Steve being Steve, could not sit still. He just had to go out and try to get some shots.

What we heard John say on the news toniight was the Steve was not a guy who could sit still. He told the guys this morning he was just going to go out and try and get a bit of footage for Bindi's show. Yesterday they were filming snakes and today he is gone.

Bindi would have been back at the Zoo having school lessons I would imagine. Terri was at the opposite end of our country.. way down in Tasmania and Steve at the other end in Port Douglas.

Ahhh. Maybe it's a good thing she wasn't there with him, huh?

 

[Nutsy]

I would hate to imagine the impact it would have left on her had she been there.

But nothing has been said here at all about her being there.. he was filming for her show. John said nothing of Bindi at all.

I'm so sad about this. I loved Steve and his show. One of my DS's first words was 'crocky'! I'm still in shock. His family will be in my prayers.

I was so stunned when I saw this report this morning. How very sad.

CRIKEY !!!!

I was never a fan of Steve Irwin, or his shows, but my grandmother was a huge fan and watched him faithfully. She even had a Steve Irwin bobble-head doll on her entertainment center! What a tragic and shocking (and freakish) death! My prayers go out to his family and friends....
