For real.

The 'Crocodile Hunter' got stung in the chest by a Sting Ray (the second person ever to die from this) while he was filming another documentary. Those things have barbed tails coated with venom. They're docile creatures who only attack if they feel threatened .. I'm guessing Mr Irwin was trying to poke him with a stick or something.

If anyone believes this is a hoax they should probably first check the news, if you havn't seen it already, and then take a look at the Queensland Police Service website.

We've taken the piss out of him countless times, with his cries of 'Crikey' and 'Look at that beauty'. Give it a few years and we'll be taking the piss out of the way he died. Probably 21 years as that is the time allowed for a tagic event to still be tragic before jokes can be made about it. Steve Irwin featured on South Park (obviously not him as all celebrities are impersonated) in an episode that saw him shoving his thumb up the assholes on animals in an attempt to piss them off.
