aw man. tragic. i remember watching him on animal planet. funny, i never thought of him dying. i always thought he'd be here like, when im ancient and have little 'nettes' running around the place, i'd be all "hey, look kids! i used to watch him when i was young!" nope, no more crocodile hunter.
sad, it was a super freak freak accident. what are the odds of getting pierced directly in the heart? the barbed tail had to squeeze through the rib cage and poke through intercostal muscle, and BAM, strike the heart. then again. the silly swam directly over the stingray :/ awwww. his poor kids and wife. and his dog! his gorgeous dog! see. this is what happens when you choose to live a life full of excitement, pursuing your passion.
better stay home, where you're nice and warm and safe. and bloody stingrays don't go around sticking their pointy extremities into you. i think not i guess he enjoyed life to the fullest huh.
so which is better: living a happy, safe life- you'll get to see your family grow up, you're content..yeah, it may be a little boring at times. but hey, you're secure! or giving life your darnest best, and dying young.
