Everytime I watched the crocidle hunter I said to myself "I can't believe that guy hasn't been killed doing this stuff!"... Now it seems hard to believe he actually died. I hope when I die, it's doing something I love to do. Maybe he was a good actor, but he did seem to love what he was doing.
I heard some comments on the Today Show this morning saying that TV causes these types of hosts to perform more dangerous stunts in order to attract viewers, boost ratings, etc., and therefore the audience was to blame. This seems pretty bogus to me. I don't think we need an audience to push ourselves harder. Even if the show he was working on was more dangerous than his previous shows, the stingray is not considered to be dangerous. Stingrays are responsible for less than 20 deaths in the whole world over the last 10 years.
RIP Steve, best wishes to Terri, Bindi & Bob. May Steve's death continue to inspire the fight for environmental protection and education.

Best wishes?!! Seems kind of like an odd thing to say to someone you'll never meet.
What's really sad is how someone's popularity instantly skyrockets AFTER they die. Like now theyr'e having a huge Crocodile Hunter marathon-tribute thing, blah blah...no one had heard much about him the past few years and NOW he's back, popular as ever.
I's normal when people die to celebrate their life and their work. I think it would be more sad if nobody cared that he died.
