Steve Irwin
It’s almost unbelievable that the thing he dedicated his life to–animal conservation–is what killed Steve Irwin. The Crocodile Hunter was filming a documentary called Ocean’s Deadliest on September 4, 2006 in Queensland, Australia when he was stung hundreds of times by a six-and-a-half-wide stingray. He died soon after from the toxins and injuries received from the attack.
The photos in this video were taken by a British tourist one day before the accident occurred. Although footage of the accident existed, it was destroyed by Irwin’s family. As such, these are the last known images of him.
