‘Crocodile Hunter’ Steve Irwin laid to rest

I didn't know alot of people are into snuff wanting to see his video instant before he was killed. That's sick. I hate to think he died. I used to watch his show back when I was in high-school, I thought he was going to revolutionize nature shows - he did. Although, I didn't think it'll be so short. Rest in peace, Steve Irwin.

Thousands Remember 'Crocodile Hunter'

BEERWAH, Australia - Friends and fans, including Hollywood stars and Australia's prime minister, bid farewell to "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin on Wednesday at a service that veered from poignant tributes to belly laughs.

Irwin's 8-year-old daughter, Bindi, hailed him as her hero; his father, Bob, asked people to end their grieving, and fans were invited to laugh at his television antics one more time.

The ceremony was carried live on three national television networks and at least one radio station. Flags on the Sydney Harbor Bridge and throughout Irwin's home state of Queensland flew at half-staff, and giant television screens were set up for people to watch the service.

Prime Minister John Howard was among the 5,000 people who attended the ceremony at the "Crocoseum," the small stadium in Irwin's wildlife park where he regularly put on crocodile-feeding shows.

"Steve Irwin touched the hearts of Australians and touched the hearts of millions around the world in a very special way," Howard said.

In a recorded video message from New York, Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe said: "It was way too soon for all of us. We have lost a friend, a champion."
