Is Steve Irwin dead?

[den]

I really hope this is another rumour. There is usually one a rumour per year.

(edit) It's true. Bugger.

Well, there's a lot of news sites (http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=Steve+Irwin&btnG=Search+News) out there confirming his death. It is pretty tragic that his time had to come so soon. I remember watching his show on TV, and thinking, this guy is nuts.

He WAS nuts. But then again, those who aren't don't get anything done...

Crikey, he'll be missed.

He was nuts in a good sort of way, at least he went out doing something he enjoyed.

He was nutty, but he wasn't nuts. He knew how to handle animals of all sorts, and when you really know how to handle an animal -- which is in large part a knowledge of how the animal reacts to things -- you eliminate most of the risks.

That being said, I'll miss his "Crikey! Lookit this monstrous bugger! He could bite me in half / poison me in half a second / crawl up my nostril and walk my animated husk around! Let's poke it witha stick!"
