I just checked CNN.com and under the red breaking news heading, it said he was killed in a marine accident. Steve Irwin is his real name but most know him as the Croc Hunter. I for one am saddened by this. You think that these risk takers will somehow survive even though what they do is incredibly dangerous but when one falls prey to what they love, a big dose of reality hits you and reminds you that anyone can get hurt or killed, despite experience. What's even worse is that he's leaving behind his wife and children
If you don't know who he is, Google. I hate it when people post just to ask who the person is
Edit: Apparently, he was killed by a stingray barb to the chest while filming a documentary
