20 cm barb, what is that, 4-6 inches? How big that ray musta been! My brother stepped on one in St. Andrew's Bay about a 1/10th the size of the stingray that got Irwin and he was seriously ****ed up for the rest of the day.
You know, this makes me feel really bad about all the times my dad and my brothers would joke about starting a dead pool for him. I always called snakes. Everybody went with the alligators and crocs, thats bull, Irwin was whoopin' crocs and gators since he was like 10.
Anyhow, this guy brought my whole family a lot of enjoyment and its a pretty shitty way to go. I heard this was the first documented ray death in over 10 years.

The 20 cm is what I heard, I could be wrong, but even so, it still hit his heart, he didn't have a chance.
I always thought that if he was killed like this, it would ether be a snake or a large mammal like a lion or a bare.

His youngest (the one he had in his arms when he fed the crocodile) is 2 now, and his eldest is 8.
I would prefer to think that they are not greiving anymore. But laughing. thinking of all the good times they had with Daddy/Steve.

Greiving is important and takes time. But yes I hope there is laughter in the end.
