Steve Irwin dies after being stung by a stingray in a sea full of box
jellyfish and killer sharks.

Quite simply, his luck ran out. No real rhyme or reason and in no way
just. Bummer.

Definitely sad though I do not see how his death provides evidence
for or against the existence of a particular deity.

At least it wasn't his child: whom he dangled, Michael Jackson style, in
front of a big crocodile during one of his shows. Perhaps that is evidence
of divine intervention.

I never saw the show. It sounds as if he was a cross between Paul
Hogan and David Bewwamy.

Be fucked he did! He was an experienced animal handler, and knew what
the fuck he was doing. Think about it -- it was his own son, for fuck
sake. And no, he didn't dangle the child over its gaping maw, as the
American wowzers would have one believe.
Typical media scare-mongering. Gotta have something to fill the gaps
in prime-time timeslots, right?

He was a real character, and will be missed. He always seemed to be in
control, to know exactly what he was doing.
At least he went doing something he loved.
