I don’t know if you’ve heard about it yet, but Steve Irwin just died of an injury from stingray barb. You’ll want to be on the lookout for more information from news sites as I’m sure they’ll have more information. Leaving behind a wife and 2 children he was a stand up guy. Constantly promoting conservation by any means necessary he will surely be missed and he leaves some very weighty shoes to fill.
UPDATE: Evidently he was pierced either in or near his heart, which is why he died from this injury. This is the third reported death from a stingray in Australia.
