"When something grabs me, keep rolling. That's the golden rule. The golden rule," he once explained in an interview.

Irwin was in the water at Batt Reef, off the Australian resort town of Port Douglas, about 60 miles north of Cairns, shooting a series called "Ocean's Deadliest" when he swam too close to the stingray, Stainton said

Indeed one of a kind.

Do you think he was insured (life)? The family is still mourning, perhaps in time, they can show that video.

here's a quote by Irwin's manager re the uncertainty of doing shoots in the ocean:
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________
Stainton said Irwin was in his element in the Outback, but that he and Irwin had talked about the sea posing threats the star wasn't used to.

"If ever he was going to go, we always said it was going to be the ocean," Stainton said. "On land he was agile, quick-thinking, quick-moving and the ocean puts another element there that you have no control over."

The footage of Steve Irwin's death should be destroyed, his manager and friend John Stainton said today.

I also hope the video wont be circulating on the internet. But it's hard to keep it contained in today's world.

Saw the Larry King live last night...Larry play some footage of his previous interview w/ the late Steve Irwin I think t'was 2001 & 2004. While his wife is @ side, He mentioned something that how his Mother died in a Freak accident; And then he just blurted out that probably he will have the same fate w/ his mother....
