The News Article
We have lost a great man whom educated the public about wildlife preservation all his life. This is very tragic. He was like the teacher every kid would want for his class. Me included, even after I graduated.
I'll miss him, and I'm sure the entire world will miss him.

He died about 4 hours and 25 minutes from the time i finish making this post. Cause of death is chest puncture by stingray barb.

Pity... not that I ever saw him outside of TV ads, but he seemed alright (quite an accomplishment for TV ads).

I just heard and allready sent E-mails to my friends and family. News spreads fast.
I was actually about to post it myself, but you beat me to it.
Goodbye Mr. Irwin.

I knew it was only a matter of time before an animal killed him with the risks he takes. RIP, Irwin.

Wait!
He's dead! He can't be dead! We would have heard about it on the news!
I mean, he's got a baby girl to take care of and a whole zoo!
Is he really dead because, I'm having a hard time believein this.

Well it was bound to happen sooner or later.
He was always wrestling crocs and grabbing poisonous snakes. he was bound to be killed by the animals he's messing with.

I seriously thought something else would get him. Like a croc. But i guess the biggest dangers are often the small ones. He was really cool.

He was a really brave man. Anyone can agree with that. its hard to find someone in todays world with as much guts as Steve Irwin did. The poor guy was like the biggest star from the world down under right next to chrocidile dundee.

Oh! That's awful. At least they say it was probably instant. I'd like my death to be instant.

Your right a man with a job like his must have some major nads, to do the stuff he does.
