| Re: RIP Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter) I just read this too, unbelievable! But I think that is how he would have wanted to go, in nature's surroundings. Just a footnote, according to Yahoo, his wife has been notified: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060904/.../obit_irwin_19 |

| Re: RIP Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter) I saw this when I woke up. I so hope they were able to notify Teri before they released it to the press. How horrible if that is how she finds out [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |

| Re: RIP Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter) Thanks for posting the links, Sarah. What a sad story to wake up to. If you click on this link http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapc...win/index.html it explains that the poison isn't what killed him, it was the trauma associated with the wound that would have killed him. [ QUOTE ] Dr. Bryan Fry, deputy director of the Australian Venom Research Unit at the University of Melbourne, said stingray venom was "extraordinarily painful." "If he was conscious he would have been in agony," Fry told Reuters. Fry said stingray venom was a defensive weapon similar to that in stonefish but was not lethal. Serrated barbs on the stingray's tail would have delivered the fatal injury, he said. "It's not the going in, it's the coming out," Fry said. "They have these deep serrations which tear and render the flesh as it comes out," he said. "What happened to Steve Irwin is like being stabbed in the heart," Isbister said. Injuries caused by stingrays are relatively common but fatalities are extremely rare, with experts saying there are only one or two known cases in recorded Australian history. [/ QUOTE ] |
