omg NOOOOOOOOO

:crymeariver:
i will miss him.
Although deadly, such attacks on humans are a rarity. David Penberthy, editor of the Sydney Daily Telegraph, told the BBC he had never heard of anyone in Australia being killed by a stingray before.
"You know we still at this early stage don't know what type of stingray it was, or, you know I guess given the bloke's track record, whether he was getting up close and personal with it as well," Mr Penberty said.
heh.

Re: omg NOOOOOOOOO
The thing about Australia is that it contains something like 15 of the top 20 deadliest animals. There's more stuff there that can kill you in horrible and painful ways than anywhere else in the world
Someone who deals with those animals on a daily basis can't have the highest life expectancy in the world.
He seemed like a good guy though - sorry to hear he's died

Re: omg NOOOOOOOOO
Out of all the deadly animals he has got right up close to he gets killed by a sting-ray. How crap.
It's sad he's dead.

This my friends is a stingray, a stingray only stings when threatened and then it can be dangerous. And with dangerous I mean deadly!*

Marina, Aqua Marina,
What are these strange enchantments that start whenever you're near?
Marina, Aqua Marina,
Why can't you whisper the words my heart is longing to hear?
Your magic to me, a beautiful mystery.
I'm certain to fall I know, because you enthrall me so.
Marina, Aqua Marina,
Why don't you say, that you'll always stay, close to my heart.

RIP Steve
Seemed like a good man from what I saw of him on TV with his conservation work and generally being a nice bloke, at least he died doing something he loved.

I'm deeply saddened. Steve was awesome, I'll never forget seeing him jump off of an elephant, run through the grass, and dive onto a snake to show it to the camera.

Re: omg NOOOOOOOOO
Apparantly he was filming for a new series or something. Whether or not it will be shown depends on his family.
I suspect there will be at least one episode dedicated to him but I doubt it will show the actual event.

I think all but one of those was proven to be the spirit of a great white trying to frame his nemesis "Charlie the stingray".
it was big news, along with Brian adams getting his first real 6 string.

Re: omg NOOOOOOOOO
While its sad as he did an awful lot for wildlife conservation I have to say its not that surprising. He did often seem to take an awful lot of risks around these animals and at times even seemed to be trying to provoke them

I've had some vicious barbs thrown straight at the heart in my time on GD and you don't see me falling down dead.

Well, the BBC news report at the start of the thread states that the cause of death was the physical damage to his heart (although obviously not in those terms), specifically the hole in it.
Very little to do with the toxicology of the situation at all, apparantly.

It however, does not state that the extraction of the barb is what caused the lethal damage. Getting a barb stung directly into your heart on it's own would already be quite likely be considered a fatal injury, especially if the barb did not broke off upon insertion, but was still attached to a living stingray.
Having said that, pulling something out of a wound, be it a bullet, knife or stingray barb, likely does aggravate any sustained tissue damage. In this case, however, I doubt that leaving the barb in would have proved a lifesaver.

Re: omg NOOOOOOOOO

He wouldn't of died of having a barb through his heart, he'd have died by oxygen starvation to the brain caused by the heart's inability to pump blood because of a great big dirty spike through it.
It's the same argument we had a while back about 'bullets don't kill people, it's the tissue damage and shock the bullets cause that kills people'

We don't really have enough information, so we can't really make an informed judgement. Having said that, whilst it may have been a lifesaver, he'd probably still be pushing up the Dacesies.
