Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin R.I.P.?

Preliminary reports, not totally credible, but WTF?

Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the Crocodile Hunter, was killed Monday by a stingray barb during a diving expedition, Australian media reported. He was 44.

The accident happened while Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state, Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site.

The paper and other Australian media reporting the death cited police or state government sources.

Telephone calls to Australia Zoo, Irwin's zoo in southern Queensland, were not immediately answered.


EDIT: CNN now reporting it as a legit and confirmed story. Stingray barb through the heart. R.I.P., Steve.
