The Crocodile Hunter has died.
Steve Irwin was killed by stingray today while filming a documentary down under.
Normally, this stuff wouldn't bother me. I might have written him off as a kook, but he was a earnest, likable kook.
I guess what gets to me about this tragic death is that, in a why, he's the first celebrity that I would consider to be one of my contemporaries that died of something other than a drug overdoze.
It brings mortality into question.
He leaves behind a young wife and two kids who needs our prayers.
Rest In Peace, Steve Irwin
