Crikey! The Croc Hunter's dead!

From an Australian news site
THE Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, is dead.
He was killed in a freak accident in Cairns, police sources said.
It is understood he was killed by a sting-ray barb that went through his chest.
He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas filming an underwater documentary and that's when it occured.
Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality this morning at Batt Reef off Port Douglas.

You know, after all his goofing around with crocodiles, I find this quite ironic.
EDIT: Spork already posted a thread about this, so somebody lock this please.
