In the early afternoon of 4 September 2006, Irwin was fatally stung in the chest by a stingray barb off the Great Barrier Reef in Australia while filming an underwater documentary.

Shortly after 11:00 a.m. local time (01:00 UTC), Irwin was filming in the Low Isles near Port Douglas, north of Cairns, Queensland, Australia, where he was stung either through his heart[5] or through the left side of his chest[6] and suffered cardiac arrest. [7] After he was stung, his crew called for medical help and the Queensland Rescue Helicopter responded, taking him to Cairns Base Hospital.[8] However, Irwin was immediately pronounced dead at the scene.[9] The Queensland Police Service notified his family and released a statement for the media concerning the event.

I'll miss my crocadile dude. I used to watch his show all the time all the time when i was little.
