He died doing what he loved.
Most of us we do knew that it just was matter of time to see a serius accident, though we never wanted to see the day of his dead (at least not for the following 50 years and not caused by a fish).
His death represents a very sensitive loss to the world (known through his Croc Hunter TV series) and a person real hard to forget.
My honest condolences to his family

RIP Steve. Hopefully you find the animal's heaven and take the time to visiting us someday.
