I already posted this in the depressed thread, but it needs its own. Poor Steve and his family :cry:

Seriously...that really is too bad. I even said a a couple of months ago, "One day he's not going to make it out alive of one of these excursions of his...."
And I guess this time was that time. At least he was doing what he loved, eh?

What kind of stingray can do that kind of damage, though, I wonder? That's...just wow.

Yeah thats what I was wondering, I was only talking about the dangers of stingrays yesterday - I thought they weren't too bad. God I'm so sad, he's too young and had so much more to do. Supposedly his wife doesn't know yet which probably means his kids don't either. They had such a happy family.

I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later...he would just be around all these dangerous animals all the time. Though you'd half-expect him to be able to avoid ANYthing if he could work around huge crocs and be fine....

He always annoyed me, in an amusing kind of way. I'll miss him. :(

Blimey!

Well... condolances and best wishes to family, etc.

Always got on my tits, personally. But fair play to him...

Stingray's are not usually deadly, unless of course they get you in the heart. Well, I'll miss him.
IDIOT, n.
A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot's activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but "pervades and regulates the whole." He has the last word in everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions and opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line.

RIP Steve :(
He came on top of the stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart
That's one deadly stingray...

He died doing what he loved best, pissing off dangerous wild animals for our entertainment...

Was he the guy I once saw winding up some poor innocent anaconda? I thought he was a duckhead.

:o Don't annoy them, they're grieving! The next thing you know there'll be a stingray sticking out of your chest!
