Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and conservationist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. Irwin died after the animal used its barbed tail to deliver a fatal blow to the chest. He was 44. Irwin's final moments were captured on a videotape that shows him pulling a
poisonous stingray barb from his chest, officials said. Experts are calling the circumstances of the TV star's death extremely rare, as stingrays are generally not known to attack humans and have caused only a handful of deaths. Discovery Communications have announced plans to air an all-day "Crocodile Hunter" marathon on Animal Planet Sept. 10. The network has also renamed the
garden space outside its headquarters the Steve Irwin Memorial Garden and has created the Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter Fund, to be affectionately known as the "Crikey Fund," in honor of Irwin's dedication to conservation and wildlife.
