R.I.P Steve you will always be missed.

Damn, this sucks, I'm shocked. We knew the guy was taking chances, but it's crazy to see a guy from a show you like so much die. His poor wife and kids. I hope she's let down easy and doesn't find out by having some reporter shove a camera in her face and asks how she feels about her husbands death.

You'd all be lauging and calling for a darwin award. He's a selfish prick for continuing his antics with a family to provide for.

He gambled. He lost. There's way bigger tragedies going on a daily basis.

Wow... QFB

Wow, a very very tragic loss for the animal world, one of their greatest lovers and best defenders.

I find it shocking that some people don't hold all human life as sacred, and can trivialize death.

I can think of a lot of people that I'd personally kill. Rapists, murderers included. Life is about risk management, if you want to make it a long one.

Nope... Not funny. Ass.

Do you even know what a stingray is? Thousands of people swim in water with stingrays each day. They're not dangerous; this was just a fluke.

Stringrays aren't dangerous. This is more of a fluke than natural selection.

RIP Steve.


Actually you can pet them at Sea World. I imagine they have their stingers clipped though...

What he does for the animal world by bringing his knowledge, love, and raw enthusiasm to the world thru his shows is only paralleled by what you do for the definition of ignorance.

Lol. This guy is only famous for sticking his finger up angry animal's backsides- hell, they even made a southpark episode about it. I'm sure he was doing the same with the stingray.

I'm sure his family is well provided for, considering his celebrity.
