death footage 'terrible', by David Braithwaite

The
underwater video footage of Steve Irwin's death after
he was speared in the chest by a stingray was "shocking"
his manager reportedly said today.
John
Stainton told reporters the footage, which he had
handed to police, was the worst thing he had ever
seen, Sydney's 2GB radio reported this morning.
"I
have seen the footage and it's shocking," Mr
Stainton said.
"It's
a very hard thing to watch because you're watching
somebody die and it's terrible."
Mr
Stainton, also a producer and director of Irwin's
popular television shows, said the footage showed
Mr Irwin pulling the barb out of his chest before
losing consciousness.
'The
tail came up'
"It
shows that Steve came over the top of the ray and
the tail came up, and spiked him here (in the chest),
and he pulled it out and the next minute he's gone.
"That
was it. The cameraman had to shut down."
Mr
Stainton, who was aboard Mr Irwin's vessel Croc One
when the tragedy occurred, said it was likely the
television star and naturalist died almost immediately
as a result of the stingray's blow.
"(He
was) probably a metre coming over the top of it,"
he said.
"He
was underwater. I think, and the coroner's report
will say what happened, but I think he died fairly
instantly."
Mr
Stainton said he was still in disbelief that a stingray
could claim his close friend's life.
"He
was always on the precipice," he said.
"He
always pushed himself to the very limits but I thought
he was invulnerable and I think he did too.
Close
shaves
"I
think we all had that belief that we'd pull through
whatever situation we were in and he has been in some
very close shaves with snakes and crocodiles.
"I
would never imagine it to come from something like
a stingray."
A
post-mortem examination has confirmed Irwin died after
being speared in the chest by a stingray's poisonous
barb.
"We're
not going into the detail but there's definitely no
surprises. Everyone knows how he died," a police
spokeswoman said.
Mr
Stainton said Irwin's crew was struggling to come
to terms with the death.
"Devastated,"
Mr Stainton said when asked at a news conference in
Cairns today how Mr Irwin's crew was coping with the
loss.
"As
you can imagine, you guys shooting stuff and someone
you're filming, for years, has died in front of you,
is shocking.
"It's
a shocking thing, traumatic, it's one of those things
you don't expect and you have to deal with it."
Crikey fund announced
Crocodile
Hunter Steve Irwin's conservation work would continue
despite his death yesterday, a close friend said today.
The
executive director of Irwin's Australia Zoo at Beerwah,
near Queensland's Sunshine Coast, pledged today that
Irwin's work to protect wildlife would go on.
"We
have an obligation now to do more, and through his
legacy we hope more Australians and more people around
the world will get into conservation," Michael
Hornby told Channel Nine's Today program.
"Things
like the culling of wildlife, which Steve was very
passionate (against). That has to stop. We've got
to create safer habitats. we've got to carry on the
mantle."
Irwin
made a great contribution to the conservation movement
around the world, Mr Hornby said.
"I
don't think we'll ever come to grips with his impact,"
Mr Hornby said.
"It's
not just the direct stuff, the land that he has purchased
to create habitats, the money he has invested, the
motivation that he has provided so many people.
"But
it's because of him that other people have now taken
up a career or taken up a passion in conservation,
and he has directly influenced them, and hopefully
many, many people to come.
Irwin
was also a great friend, he said.
'Lovely
guy'
"He's
a lovely guy, you know. If you didn't know him, he
kind of polarised, I guess, some people. You know,
the tall poppy syndrome; but as a person, so genuine,"
Mr Hornby said.
"What
you saw on TV was how he was as a guy - always up,
always motivated always inspiring, but always there
for you."
Earlier
today, the American TV company that made the Crocodile
Hunter a household name in the US -- Discovery Networks,
which owns the Discovery and Animal Planet channels
-- announced it will continue Irwin's legacy with
the creation of the Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter Fund,
nicknamed The Crikey Fund.
The
fund will "honour Steve's passion and exuberance
for conservation and the animal kingdom" and
will fund programs around the world.
It
will also aid Irwin's Australia Zoo as well as provide
educational support for his two young children.
State
funeral offer
Queensland
Premier Peter Beattie says Irwin will get a state
funeral if that's what his family wants .
Mr
Beattie today said Irwin put Australia on the world
map.
"He
will be remembered as not just a great Queenslander,
but a great Australian," Mr Beattie told Channel
Seven.
"Whenever
I travel overseas, particularly to countries like
the United States, he was certainly the most well
known Australian.
"People
didn't know who our prime minister was, or who our
premiers are, but they certainly know Steve Irwin."
Asked
if his government would honour Irwin with a state
funeral, Mr Beattie replied: "We will honour
Steve Irwin in whatever way his family wants."
But
first it was important to let his wife Terry and two
young children, who recently returned to Queensland
from Tasmania, deal with the tragedy, he said.
"Our
first thoughts have to be with Terry and the children
and I don't want to say or do anything that will make
their grief worse because they are a wonderful family,"
Mr Beattie said.
"We
will approach the family and we would obviously be
keen to honour him in some sort of way from the Queensland
government point of view, from the state's point of
view, but we would only do that with the family's
approval.
"They
have to deal with this terrible news which has shocked
everyone."

Farewell
to a larrikin adventurer, killed in his prime (Credit:
The Sydney Morning Herald)
by
Robert Wainwright and Jordan Baker
September 5, 2006
IN
THE end Steve Irwin got too close. The wildlife champion
and television personality, known around the world
as the Crocodile Hunter, died just after 11am yesterday
in front of the cameras when a stingray's barb pierced
his heart as he swam over Batt Reef, off the coast
of Port Douglas in far north Queensland.
Of
his millions of fans, most would have imagined his
death by crocodile jaws or poisonous snake, not swimming
in a Barrier Reef lagoon, or away from his family
- his wife, Terri, and young children, Bindi and Bob
- who were flying by private plane to Maroochydore
last night from the Tasmanian wilderness, where they
had been on a trekking holiday.
Irwin's
fellow documentary maker Ben Cropp revealed that footage
shows Irwin swimming alongside a large smooth stingray,
also known as a bull ray, in less than two metres
of water, while a cameraman from his production company
swims in front to film him for a new TV wildlife series.
Without
warning, the ray, usually regarded as a placid creature
towards humans, stops, turns and lashes out, spearing
Irwin in the chest with one of the knife-like barbs
at the end of its tail - an action like a paring knife
creating "a terrific tearing of flesh",
said Bryan Fry, of the University of Melbourne's Australian
venom research unit.
It
was not known last night whether Irwin, 44, died of
a heart attack, blood loss from the wound, venom from
the ray or a combination of all three. It was only
the third known death by stingray in Australia.
The
news sparked a frenzy of tributes from around the
world for a man considered an Australian folk hero.
Early this morning, the Herald's website had logged
close to 2000 tributes from readers.
Cropp
has not seen the footage but spoke to a friend on
Irwin's research vessel, Croc One, which he had been
using in the area for several days.
"I
wanted to know the truth before the bullshit got out,"
Cropp said. "I can picture it happening; the
ray must have felt threatened. Mostly they get spooked
and swim off but in this case it stops, swings and
jabs upward with its tail. It can lash a metre or
more. Steve must have been in a vulnerable position.
He probably got too close. "Do I think he was
irresponsible? No, he was unlucky. I know because
I've done it myself, but in my case the ray missed
me."
Pete
West, a professional diver, was on a1 nearby boat
at the time of the tragedy and confirmed Cropp's version
of events.
"We
were the closest boat to the area and they stopped
by to tell us," Mr West told Channel Seven. "We
raised the alarm while they took him back to his own
boat."

Hunter died as he lived in nature's danger zone, by

WHEN
you fashion a lifestyle out of dicing with death,
there should be little surprise that when your number
actually comes up it is as swift as it is final, and
you are middle-aged and at the peak of prosperity.
Only,
for Steve Irwin, the self-proclaimed, internationally
feted "Crocodile Hunter", it came in a manner
nobody would have expected - in azure seas and from
the barb of a stingray, not in a muddy estuary in
the jaws of a five-metre saltwater crocodile.
Irwin
had often talked about the immediacy of a croc attack.
You'd have next-to-no chance, he would warn, wide-eyed
and all golly-gosh as if he was reading a scary bedtime
story. "Because when they strike it can be that
quick that if they're within range, you're dead, you're
dead in your tracks!"
And
if he was reporting his own death, Irwin's prose typically
would be peppered with the vernacular that made the
Melbourne-born naturalist (and natural show-off) instantly
recognisable and parodied wide and far, from his home
at Queensland's Noosa Heads to many parts of the globe.
"Crikey! Irwin's copped a barb in the chest and
the thing just ripped him apart like a tin-opener
opening a can! Gee whiz, will ya look at that?! That
dasyatid! That beautiful, sleek little baby with its
lethal stinger. Blimey, that's sharp!"
Was
there anything wild that Steve Irwin couldn't fall
in love with? Wasn't gobsmacked by, wasn't wanting
to cradle, to get alongside, to understand, to protect?
Folklore says he was born with a python in one hand
and a baby croc in the other, a modern-day jungle
boy sans loincloth who could commune with nature.
"I
have no fear of losing my life," Irwin once claimed.
"If I have to save a koala or a crocodile or
a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it."
And you knew he was for real. Irwin was a fair dinkum
Crocodile Dundee without the fake tan or the
facelift. He epitomised the legend of the Aussie bushman:
resourceful, savvy and a bit rough around the edges.
But he was generous to a fault, and a showman, too,
in a way that left his audiences in awe and feeling
just a wee bit inferior.
"What
you see on TV is pretty much what you get," said
his long-time best mate, fellow zoo worker Wes Mannion,
when Irwin had become a household name. "He's
not quite as excitable, maybe, but he's always got
that drive. If we have to dig a hole, he doesn't go
over and just dig a hole, he goes over and says 'Right!
We're gonna dig a hole!' Then he's flat out diggin'
a hole."
Irwin
was larger than life. More than 500 million people
knew of him. His programs screened in more than 130
countries. In anyone's hyperbole, that's a lot. He
was a self-promoter par excellence, but he had plenty
to promote - a stratospheric self- confidence, a love
of life, an adventurer's spirit and a cheekiness that
opened the doors of movers and shakers, from cabinet
ministers to film producers, from Capitol Hill to
Hollywood.
On
a tour of America he was interviewed more than 1000
times: on Late Night with Conan O'Brien he wrestled
an inflatable crocodile in a children's wading pool,
and after appearing on another late-night program
he was such a hit he was chased by fans through Manhattan.
Police had to be called.
In
fact, he provided the perfect chat-show fodder: Irwin
had eyebrow-raising tales by the truckload. "Anyone
who gets their very own scrub python for their sixth
birthday would have some tales to tell and Steve has
plenty!" Irwin's own website trumpeted proudly.
"While most other children were opening cans
of pet food for their cats or dogs, Steve was out
catching fish and hunting rodents to feed to his crocodiles
and snakes."
They
were experiences not learned in suburban Melbourne,
however, where the greatest danger in the backyard
is colliding with the Hills hoist while playing kick-to-kick.
From his birthplace, Stephen Robert Irwin moved to
Queensland with his nature-loving parents when he
was very young. Bob and Lyn Irwin started the Beerwah
Reptile Park, which was taken over by 29-year-old
Steve in 1991 and renamed Australia Zoo.
Irwin
met his Oregon-born wife, Terri Raines, the following
year, married soon after and went crocodile trapping
on their honeymoon, complete with film crew. The adventure
formed the basis in 1992 of the first episode of The
Crocodile Hunter, their successful television series,
which was underpinned by their expanding and successful
zoo with an array of native animals as well as elephants,
tigers and a cheetah. It was no longer just the Steve
Irwin Show but a double act, with Terri playing the
straight role. Irwin's autobiography was later sub-titled
The Incredible Life and Adventures of Steve and Terri
Irwin. Theirs was a celluloid blend of National Geographic
magazine and What Will they Think of Next?, but despite
the double billing there was no doubting who the star
really was.
The
pair ended up making almost 50 hour-long documentaries,
which appeared on cable TV channel Animal Planet and
won a worldwide audience. There were also 50-plus
episodes of his follow-up series, Croc Files. Irwin's
manager, John Stainton, summed up the the style of
the presenter with the blond mop: "A lot of people
presenting television just look at the lens. They
talk to the glass. But Steve has a unique ability
to get
through
the lens and talk to you. That's why he is incredibly
successful, because he almost jumps into your lounge
room."
Then,
in 2001, Irwin bobbed up in Dr. Dolittle 2 in a cameo
role alongside Eddie Murphy, and a year later the
Irwins played themselves in The Crocodile Hunter:
Collision Course, in which the pair, naturally, hunt
crocodiles - while fending off rogue CIA agents and
saving the world.
Making
money didn't appear to be a motivation, with the Irwins
recycling the proceeds of many of their commercial
successes into conservation. Of Hollywood, Irwin remained
suspicious. Of his movie-making experiences, he said:
"MGM bought me 22 new safari suits for a start.
But really, I steered clear of the joint. Where I
live, if someone gives you a hug it's from the heart.
I've had these blokes in Hollywood hug me trying to
make out I'm their friend and as soon as I turn
they take out a big bunch of knives and stab me in
the back. I feel sorry for these people because they
are so shallow." Asked, famously, about his millions,
Irwin said in 2002: "There's no more money in
my bank. People say to me: 'Paul Hogan built a $12
million mansion in Hollywood - I suppose you'll be
doing the same?' I just say, 'No way, mate.' "
His
straight talk was a little too blunt for some, however,
and when he found himself accused of putting the life
of his infant son in danger in January 2004, there
were plenty baying for Irwin's blood. Khaki-clad,
he had been feeding a chicken carcass to crocodiles
at his zoo with one-month-old Bob tucked under his
arm. Footage of the incident was screened on TV news
bulletins worldwide.
Irwin
defended his action, claiming he had been in total
control throughout the incident. But his image took
a knock, with Queensland's Department of Family Services
reprimanding him and a reported cooling between the
Irwins and some of their documentary backers. Ultimately,
Irwin conceded that he would not repeat the episode
but his unconventional parenting was often a talking
point. In a recent interview he spoke about how he
allowed his eight-year-old daughter, Bindi, to kick
Bob (now two) - as long as she took her shoes off
first. "That way, she gets to whack him and he
doesn't get hurt," he said. "That's a compromise.
Everybody's happy."
Irwin
was also in hot water later in 2004 when he was accused
of disturbing whales, seals and penguins while filming
in Antarctica, charges that he also denied.
Despite
the controversies, the preservation of wildlife was
his raison d'etre. Only recently, he attached his
name to a wildlife protection group that launched
a legal challenge to Tasmanian plans to shoot wallabies
and pademelons. And when real-life crocodile hunters
clamoured for a part in the Northern Territory's annual
crocodile cull, Irwin escorted the Environment Minister,
Ian Campbell, around Cape York to convince him that
"trophy hunting" would send the wrong message
and would put international tourism at risk.
At
the end of the day, nearly everybody had a good word
for Steve Irwin, from local tourists to international
celebrities. Recalling his visit to the Irwins' zoo,
singer Justin Timberlake recalled this month: "I
know he got a lot of flak [in 2004], but there's something
in that dude's blood, he's like one of those animals.
It's crazy, the communication he has with those animals.
He's like Dr Dolittle, for real."

Owner
of a Queensland wildlife park who is forever risking
his life in front of the camera by confronting huge,
dangerous and poisonous animals while pouring out
colourful Aussie language at the same time.
Many
Australians consider him way over the top and an embarrassing
ocker but his mad adventures made him a super hero
in the U.S. where his TV series and movie made millions
and in November 2003 he auditioned mad Americans to
join a reality TV show to be filmed at his wildlife
park.
Over
the years he has received numerous bites, one of those
was on stage in Alice Springs at a Toyota conference
where a two metre long Perenti lizard latched on to
his arm.
He
is also reported to have trade marked the name Crocodile
Hunter, as was pointed out in a letter from Steve's
lawyer to real crocodile hunter Mick Pitman who claims
to have roamed the north for 20 years, much of it
with legendary croc hunter "German Jack",
and who is outraged his primary job description has
been hijacked.
He
claims he was hunting crocodiles while Irwin was still
in nappies and says that Steve is only a 'crocodile
photographer'. The hype has gone that far that Steve
was even nominated for Australian of the Year, though
this is more for his generosity in sharing the proceeds
of his crazy crocodile empire with numerous charity
organizations.
Despite
making it to Queenslander of the year he came under
fire early 2004 when he held his baby son Bob a metre
from the mouth of a 4 metre crocodile at his Australia
Zoo to teach him to become completely familiar with
crocodiles.
The
stunt was slammed by child support groups and compared
to the furore caused by whacko Jacko dangling his
newborn baby over a German hotel balcony in 2002.
After
this stunt his chances of becoming Australian of the
Year diminished and it was Steve Waugh that snatched
that title away from him.( See our jokes page for
more on Steve's stunt.)
This
stunt caused the Queensland workplace health and safety
division to re-draft crocodile handling guidelines
which included a ban on children entering crocodile
enclosures, and also to launch an investigation which
could land Steve a whopping big fine of a million
dollars.
Later
in 2004 he came under fire for swimming with whales
and toboganning with seals in the Antarctic, which
is also being investigated with the possible outcome
of whopping big fines.

Stephen
Robert "Steve" Irwin (22 February 1962 -
04 September 2006 born in Essendon, Victoria, Australia)
is the owner and manager of the Australia Zoo at Beerwah,
Queensland, Australia. He is best known as The Crocodile
Hunter, which is the name of the unconventional nature
documentary series on television he hosts, assisted
by his American-born wife, Terri Irwin. His larger-than-life
persona and seemingly outrageous antics (including
the close handling of both common and rare species
of wildlife and, perhaps most famously, the capture
of live crocodiles and other reptiles on-screen) are
key features in the presentation, which provides a
forum for educational information about wildlife conservation
and conflicts with humans in various parts of the
world. The program has made the Irwins television
personalities on several continents.
Steve
Irwin was killed after being stabbed by a stingray
in the Batt Reef, near Cairns in Australia.
Biography
Born
in the Melbourne area, Steve Irwin moved with his
parents as a child to Queensland. His parents, Bob
and Lyn, ran the small Queensland Reptile and Fauna
Park, where Steve grew up around crocodiles and other
reptiles. He became a crocodile trapper, removing
crocodiles from near populated areas, performing the
service for free with the quid pro quo that he kept
them for the park. As a child, he had a negative encounter
with a macaw, and still retains some fear of parrots.
In
1991, he took over the running of the park, now renamed
the "Australia Zoo", and in 1992 met (at
the park) and married Terri. The footage, shot by
John Stainton, of their crocodile-trapping honeymoon
became the first episode of The Crocodile Hunter,
which became wildly successful in America.
In
2001, Steve appeared in a cameo role in the Eddie
Murphy film Dr. Dolittle 2. In 2002, his first feature
film, The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course, was
released. In general, reviews of this film were negative.
However, in 2003, Irwin was reportedly in line to
host a chat show on Australian network television.
The
Irwins have two children: a daughter, Bindi Sue Irwin
(born 24 July 1998), and a son, Robert (Bob) Clarence
Irwin (born 1 December 2003). Their dog, Sui, from
which their daughter's middle name was derived, died
in June 2004.
Under
Steve's expansive leadership, the operations have
grown to include the zoo, the television series, The
Steve Irwin Conservation Foundation, and International
Crocodile Rescue. Improvements to his Australia Zoo
include the Animal Planet Crocoseum, the rainforest
aviary, and Tiger Temple.
Major
controversy arose during a public show on 2 January
2004, when Irwin carried his infant son, Bob, in one
arm while feeding a chicken carcass to a crocodile
with the other hand. The infant was close to the crocodile,
and comparisons were made in the press with Michael
Jackson's dangling of his son outside a German apartment
window. In addition, child welfare groups, animal
rights groups, and many of Irwin's television viewers
criticised his actions as being irresponsible and
tantamount to child abuse. Irwin claimed that any
danger to his son was only a perceived danger and
that he was in complete control of the situation,
and has consistently refused to apologize for his
actions despite considerable public outcry both in
Australia and abroad. His defenders pointed to his
several decades of hands-on experience and direct
interaction with crocodiles. Terri Irwin claimed that
their child was in no more real danger than a child
being taught to swim would be. No charges were filed
(although the police did visit Irwin at his home and
advised him not to repeat the incident).
Irwin
went on to star in other Animal Planet documentaries,
including The Croc Files, The Crocodile Hunter Diaries,
and New Breed Vets.
In
June 2004, Irwin again was the subject of controversy
when allegations were made that he came too close
to and disturbed some wildlife (namely whales, seals
and penguins) while filming a documentary in Antarctica.
Interacting with Antarctic wildlife in a disapproved
manner may be a breach of Australian federal and international
laws. Subsequently, the matter was closed without
charges being filed.
Animal
Planet then released a Crocodile Hunter special called
"Crocodiles & Controversy", which attempted
to explain both the "Baby Bob Incident"
and the Antarctica incident. This special argues that
Irwin's son was never in danger of being eaten by
the crocodile and that Irwin could not have endangered
animals in Antarctica.
Eventually
Animal Planet ended The Crocodile Hunter with a series
finale entitled "Steve's Last Adventure".
The last Crocodile Hunter documentary went for three
emotional hours with footage of Steve's across-the-world
adventure, visiting locations like the Himalayas,
the Yangtze River, Borneo, and the Kruger National
Park.
In
January 2006 as part of Australia Week celebrations
in the USA, Steve appeared at the Pauley Pavilion,
UCLA Los Angeles, California. During an interview
on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Steve announced
that Discovery Kids will be developing a show for
his daughter, Bindi Sue.[1] The show, Jungle Girl,
is tipped to be similar to The Wiggles movies, with
songs that surround a story. A feature-length episode
of Australian kids TV show The Wiggles entitled "Wiggly
Safari" appears dedicated to Steve, and he features
in it heavily with his wife and daughter. The show
includes the song "Crocodile Hunter, Big Steve
Irwin".
On
Saturday June 24, 2006, one of the oldest turtles
living in Steve Irwin's Australian Zoo, died of heart
failure. The turtle, named Harriet, was 176 years
old and was considered part of Irwin's family. Harriet
is thought to have belonged to Charles Darwin.
Steve
Irwin is active in politics and is a supporter of
the conservative Liberal Party of Australia. In particular,
he strongly supports the incumbent Prime Minister
John Howard.
On
the 4th of September 2006, Steve Irwin was killed
by a Stingray, whilst filming a documentary.

Steve
Irwin is a fan of the Singapore Zoo and considers
it and the Australia Zoo as "sister zoos".
Steve loves mixed martial arts competitions and trains
with Greg Jackson in the fighting/grappling system
of Gaidojutsu.
Irwin appears in a 2006 ESPN television commercial
in their This is SportsCenter series. In the commercial,
he wrestles the Gator mascot of the University of
Florida to the ground in an ESPN studio hallway.
A parody of Steve and Terri forms one of the themes
of Irregular Webcomic!
Australian comedian Glenn Robbins' Russell Coight
is an obvious parody of the Crocodile Hunter.
