RIP.

I was never a huge fan, but I respected him cos he was famous for a genuine reason and had an obvious passion for what he was doing - a rarity among 'celebrities' these days. Sad news indeed.

I still sit down with the kids to watch him as he was engaging and entertainingly OTT. Have always admired him for the work he did with animals and his promotion of his country. He was and will remain a true Aussie icon.

The guy had guts. No way could I have ever done any of his snake/croc stuff.

And just goes to show just how dangerous a stingray can be.

RIP

strewth

really like the guy, for his enthusiasm and balls out no fear attitude

sounds like a bizarre freakish accident too. not normally a lethal creature but straight to the heart isn't going to be in anybody's favour
