Not a great way to go, having your heart pierced by a stingray barb from the end of its tail. My chest hurts thinking about it.

Hopefully, people will learn from this and stay a little further away from wild animals. THEY ARE WILD.

People get careless over time. After being around crocs and other dangerous animals for so long, it seems as though he lost his fear of them.

I read that he was seen swimming extremely close to killer whales a year or two ago. Hello, last I checked killer whales eat seals which are about the same size as humans and everybody involved is a mammal. The whole episode with holding his kid while feeding a crocodile is another issue. As proven today, accidents do happen. Lucky for him and his kid that he didn't trip on something while he was feeding the croc.

At the end of the day, this is a sad happening because he appeared to be a really good guy and he is leaving a wife, a daughter, and a son behind, and the daughter is only 8 and the son is only 3.
