A Sad Demise!!!

I dont watch news so often. But yesterday evening I did only to find the news of " Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irvin being killed by a stingray. He was filming for a documentary and was involved in diving off Port Douglas.The man who was a brand ambassador of Australia and known to tame the world's deadliest species was killed while on such a expedition for a documentary. He was one of the greatest personalities representing Australia. His TV show "The Crocodile Hunter" is still being aired througout the world and he has a great fan following mainly kids.
Unlike other adventurers, Steve was a man in tune always with the dangerous environment. He tamed venomous snakes and Crocs as mere cats and dogs. Many objected his celebrity status for publicity stunt. But he went on to start a Zoo employing more than 500 people. He is survived by his wife and two children. He championed environmental projects like, "Steve Irvin Conservation Foundation" and "International Crocodile Rescue". His death news created ripples throughout the world. May this daring guy's soul Rest In Peace.
