NO WAY, HE DIDN'T DIE" because I had heard these rumors before. So the first thing I do is go to Yahoo and sure enough on the front page there is an article about him being killed. COMPLETELY UNREAL. We were, and very much still are in TOTAL SHOCK. This is just all too weird. I was JUST watching him on t.v. a few nights ago on Animal Planet...
I feel so sorry for his wife and children. His little girl Bindi is just completely ADORABLE. What a tragic way for him to go...this is so, so sad. I have been watching Animal Planet all night since they are playing nothing but him.
This may seem weird, but I have always looked at him as almost indestructable, although I know that sounds silly as NO ONE is indestructable. He just seemed to know so much of what he was doing....and he was SO BRILLIANT at what he did.
They also caught his death on film...which is really kind of sad when you think about it. They said that when the Stingray stuck him in his chest, he pulled it out...and then just like that, he was gone. I just can't believe that he has passed away...and at such a young age, only 44.
Sheesh....totally sad, and completely, unreal. |
I remember hearing something from him...maybe even reading it....a long time ago. He said he wouldn't mind being killed by an animal as long as it was caught on camera.
and I agree. I thought of him as indestructable too. and of course I used to joke about how he was going to get killed one day with what he does, but I never really thought he would. and I figured that if he did it would be by a snake or crocodile.....NOT a stingray!
