    There's a big thread about this on Afterhours:
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054986327

    Also his forum section on the discovery channel website is swamped with condolences.
    And I don't know whether they've taken www.crocodilehunter.com offline or whether it's unreachable by sheer demand.

    His was only the third recorded death by stingrays... Which makes this tragedy all the more senseless.

    They are normally so docile and harmless, he must have pissed one off by standing on it or somthing.
    It wouldnt have done that unless it felt really threatened or surrounded.
    Pity, he was a good guy.
