The Crocodile Hunter

The charismatic Steve Irwin, the quintessential Aussie bloke of Crocodile Hunter fame died today while filming a documentary off the coast of Queensland. Apparently a stingray barb pierced his chest and he succumbed to the injuries.

In India, thanks to AXN, he was the most popular non-Cricketer Australian, more popular than even the primeminister John Howard.

All Australia mourns his death today. Perhaps many from across the globe as well.

He brought a smile to everyone's lips. May he be remembered well.
