SOUTH PARK "STEVE IRWIN WENT SOUTH"

Steve Irwin 'South Park' creators have outraged fans of the late Steve Irwin by poking fun at his death. The latest episode of the satiric sketch, entitled 'Hell On Earth 2006', shows the 'Crocodile Hunter' attending a fancy dress party in Hell - along with the late Princess Diana and Hitler - with a stingray poking out of his bleeding chest. Irwin is then kicked out of the party by the Devil because he isn't in fancy dress.

British broadcasting watchdog Media watch branded the episode "grossly insensitive". Media watch director, John Beyer, said: "This is bad taste. Steve Irwin's family is still grieving. To lampoon somebody's death like this is unacceptable."'South Pa...

WILD STEVE IRWIN KILLED BY STINGRAY

Image
Steve Irwin Wild and adventurer seeker Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray at Batt reef off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland state. He was shooting a segment for a series called " Ocean's Deadliest". He came on top of a stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart. Crew members aboard the boat, Croc One, called emergency services in the nearest city, Cairns, and administered CPR as they rushed the boat to nearby Low Isle to meet a rescue helicopter. Medical staff pronounced Irwin dead when they arrived a short time later. Stingrays have a serrated, toxin-loaded barb, or spine, on the top of their tail. The barb, which can be up to 10 inches long, flexes if a ray is frightened. Stings usually occur to people when they step on or swim too close to a ray and can be excruciatingly painful but are rarely fatal. He is survived by his wife Terri and daughter Bindi Sue 8 and son Bob 2.
