Crocodile Hunter died ?!? *single perfect tear*

[Maengelito]

It kinda pisses me off when people say stuff like, "I saw it coming" or "It was gonna happen sooner or later" like somehow they know more than he does or that he didn't know what he was doing. Its easy for the average person who takes zero risk in their life to criticize those that take great risks for a passion they have or a cause that they believe in. That's what makes great people great, and I admire him for it.

no disrespect to him, but he did live dangerously. sure i dont know much about animals compared to him, but his passion is waht got him killed. from what it seems like, it is basically a freak accident that a sting ray was able to get him in the heart, but those dont normally kill unless it feels threatened. it most likely stung him because it was threatened by him, just so happens it was in his heart. most animals dont attack unless they feel threatened by your presence or you're in their territory or you're provoking it and this seems to be no different. his popularity was based on all the risks that he took wit the animals as goodspeed said, not just on showing some film footage shot with a super zoom lens from several hundreds of feet away. regardless, it is really sad and he truely was passionate about what he'd done and you can't knock him for that.
