I suppose these things happen when you're filming "Things in the ocean that can kill you"

Except he wasn't filming that:

Quote:
Irwin was in the area to film pieces for a show called "The Ocean's Deadliest" with Philippe Cousteau, grandson of Jacques, according to Irwin's manager and friend John Stainton. But weather had prevented the crew from doing work for that program, Stainton said, so Irwin decided to do some softer features for a new children's TV show he was doing with his daughter, Bindi.

Also, "As of 1996, 17 deaths had occurred worldwide from stingray barb injuries." That's a total of 17 from the time records start until 1996. Hardly the deadliest thing in the ocean.
