Crocodile Hunter dead....WTF
Yeah that shyt was sad when I first heard it. But to be killed by a Stingray....thats crazy. there are only 3 reported deaths by a stingray worldwide. Those are some crazy odds. The worst thing is that he just had a little girl.
Another thing is that he died instantly. Stingrays not only have that barb at the end of their tale, but it releases a poisonous neurotoxin into the system which there is NO antidote for currently.
Researchers said that he would have probably lived another 3-4 min if he had not pulled the barb out of his chest. but because he did, it made the hole in his chest/heart bigger and he died instantly
This is a very sad and tragic event

the poison is not deadly. if you got stung by a string ray on the foot or leg for example, you would be in mild pain and go to the hospital but you would be ok. it was the fact that he got stung in the heart that turned out to be deadly.

^^Are you sure, a researcher sad that it was a poisonous neurotoxin and that there is no cure for it.
I'm sure getting pierced in the heart had a big part to play in this situation

I've been stung in the foot before when diving (or rather when wading out to dive), it definitely sucks, but in terms of venom its not even as bad as being bitten by a rattlesnake.
