BRISBANE, Australia - Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the Crocodile Hunter, was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, police said. He was 44.

Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state when the accident occurred, Sydneys The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site.

The Australian Broadcasting Corp. said Irwin was diving near Low Isles Reef near the resort town of Port Douglas, about 1,260 miles north of the state capital of Brisbane.

I saw this last night before I went to bed, and it saddened me......even as an american. I think Irwin was a great man who loved his work and loved teaching. You cant ask more out of a man.

I saw it in 3 other threads here at TG yesterday, and it saddened me more than the death of multiple kittens.

RIP

I hope the world learns from the knowledge he shared with us all and acts upon it for the benefit of our planet.
