Steve Irwin, best known as The Crocodile Hunter was killed by a sting through the chest by a stingray while filming an underwater documentary in the Great Barrier Reef off the Low Isles near Port Douglas, north of Cairns, Queensland, Australia.

A copy of the advisory from the Queensland Police Service:

I only got to know about him when I first heard the Taliban Hunter parody clip several years ago. I don’t know why but I actually feels kinda sad. 🙁
