Crocodile Hunter Stabbed to Death by Stingray

By now, the entire world knows how famed Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin died when he was harpooned in the chest by a stingray while filming a documentary about the Great Barrier Reef. Steve had held an especially dangerous job, but all along I had been urging caution - not around crocodiles, mind you; but stingrays. "Crox R dangerous. I dun need 2 tell u that. But beware of other animals. Even stingrays can kill. TTYL," I wrote in a text message to Steve on Friday, July 21, 2006. Vindicated.
