Sad. Love to watch his documentary.

 

[denniskee]

another environmentalist gone.

never fail to suprise me with all his stunt to wristling with crocodile, handling big lizard and capturing snakes with his bare hands.

tried once lifting a big lizard with my own bare hands in the zoo after watching his show, end result, scratches and scar all over my forearm.

when i was in au, i always make it a point to watch his show..

like his, "OOooooo".....

haiz..

My condolences go out to his wife and kids

No doubt death is a touchy issue....

But I honestly think that this is how he would rather have died.

Being killed by something that he has fought so hard to protect that he gets killed by it while protecting it.

Terri would also say that it is no fault of the stingray that killed her husband, but it is nature taking its course.

"Kill or Be Killed"

my condolences to her wife and baby boy...

i am a supporter of his documentary.

sad to hear such a tragic accident happen to a dedicated wildlife lover and host.

is very rare to have the barb that went through his chest ..

Which points to the question....

What the fish was he doing underwater to warrant such an injury and such a death. I guess he was trying to show off again and hug a stingray to get himself killed in such a manner. Stingrays normally give injuries to the feet as they are hidden under the sand beds. :think:
