Sad, but expected. I'm surprised he lasted this long.

Shoulda stuck to crocodiles.

It's odd, as sting rays do not attack, more defend.

Maybe Steve got a little to close? I always thought a croc would do him in.

This would be hilarious if he didn't leave two children behind.

Sting Rays only do that sort of thing if you agitate them, which he was probably trying to do just for the sake of getting "good" footage. Something you would think a guy with a wife and two kids would know better than to do.

From what I've heard, the stingray accidentally got cornered between Steve and his cameraman, and lashed out at the closest person.

Poor Steve. My brother was a big fan of him, and I never thought he'd go like this.

It was also caught on film apparently. I hope it doesn't get out.

Seraph · Postby **Seraph** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 6:59 pm

Hopefully it doesn't...

Also Steve R.I.P

I always pictured him dying by gracefully crawling down the gullet of a tearful crocodile.

Anyway, quite sad, yes.
