Exactly, when you're pierced through the heart, there's pretty much fuck all anybody can do unless you're in the operating theatre already with a heart transplant on standby.

Ya i didn't think of the bleeding, if their was no bleeding(hypothetically speaking) then the poison would kill him.

The poison is rarely deadly, only very painful.

No, but its poison prevents the cut from healing.

Actually, I suspect the opposite -- he would've been more likely to live had he left it alone and not got it out.

While I haven't seen anything conclusive on the cause of death, it has been claimed repeatedly his heart was penetrated.  In that circumstance, the thing to do is to leave the penetrating object in place -- as removal would result in spectacular bleeding and cardiac tamponade.  This is a much more immediate risk than the effects of stigray venom; if this is what the situation was, leaving the barb in place could have bought enough time to get him to a properly equipped medical facility.

So, keep this in mind -- if you get stabbed in the heart area and you are still alive enough to contemplate it, leave the object where it is.  If it hasn't killed you yet, you probably have more time if you don't screw with it than you will if you do.

I'm sure it was on the news that there has only ever been 3 killings made by StingRays and it is very rare that there is fatal attacks on humans. Something like that. Thats why I was so shocked that He would get killed by one Nothing he could do really.

errrrr how about no.
they are not rare, they go near the shore on the summer, and people step on them and they sting them...

I loved his movies, he was the only guy who made nature shows funny and interesting.
RIP Irwin, you will be missed.

R.I.P steve!! i was lucky to go see  him feeding some crocs at his Australia zoo

but stingrays are known to be harmless creatures. I have seen in Jamaica a popular tourist attraction called Stingrays City where tourist hug and kiss stingrays like dolphins. You wouldn't believe how friendly they are. It's pretty strange that a creature like this got him killed and not one of those deadly ones he plays with. This is like the story about David and Goli??? (sorry I can't spell it)
