So the family have had to release a press statement to say he wasn't, and I get the impresison that showing the video would be proof to back that cstatement up.
Sad when people feel the need to bad mouth/make insinuations about someone when they die in a tragic accident
I bet the guy was just doing exactly what he loved most, and it was nothing but a tragic accident - no more no less.....

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Just got a pm from a distressed fan
As this is a public post I will reply publicly.
Get a grip mate. He was a second rate TV celebrity and only one of 155,000 people who die every day
I'll reserve my sympathy for those butchered at the hands of dictators, starved in third world countries or any of the other many gruesome ways people, who didn't ask or put themselves in those situations, die every day.
Steve Irwin pushed his luck with dangerous animals in the name of entertainment one too many times.
As I've said before I have nothing but respect for the conservation work done by Steve Irwin
but to all those people acting like they've lost a limb, get a life

You may think that people are just being miserable cunts, but that is your opinion, the truth is that some people are genuinely upset by this kind of humour.
The bloke was very popular for good reason and there is no wonder people disagree with the images youve posted. Its got nothing to do with a shit sense of humour but the fact that most people are truly upset by his death.
You probably won't have read this far but Steve was a legend and unfortunately it is impossible to make humour out of this. RIP Steve.
thanks robrs

I think the traditional british sense of humour is being lost over time, we've ALWAYS laughed at ourselves, and we've ALWAYS laughed at jokes like this that are in suposed bad taste. regardless of who you are or how important you think you are death comes to us all, its not a written rule that everyone should say "RIP" or "what a great bloke" etc, yes its a bit sad for his family that he's dead but the bloke had it coming and I'm sure a few folks having a laugh at the way he went would'nt offend him in the slightest, lighten up folks for fucks sake

Gurne- You may want everyone to have a laugh if you throw your bike away and don't die but I don't believe for a minute that your family would be that amused if they came on here and read everyone taking the piss if you were dead.

people are taking this too far.,
British sense of humour is still in tact. The pics and texts that going round are funny BUT its too soon. I think some respect should be shown when its so soon after...the guys not even buried yet ffs

You don't see any pisstakes when someone has their car stolen/vandalised and that's only a lump of metal!

people seriously need to chill a little .... yesterday morning I had texts being sent to me etc.. few emails flying about... Agreed, its not nice, but its a way of life.. stuff like this will always happen.. the jokes start flooding in..
Remember Princess Di.. I remember seeing jokes etc about her.. RIP.. again, not nice..
It happens, and by not posting pics etc, wont bring him back.. They will continue to be posted over all the web whether on here or other sites..
Steve Irwin was a legend in my mind.. but you cant not help have a chuckle when you see that pic

Been watchin Steve on Animal Planet most of the day, his humor was fuckin spot on!! Just sucks that it was a usually placid creature that took the big man down.
I do think his death will be shown on tele, but i also think it will be edited in such a way as not to glorifly his death but to immortalise him as the animal lover that he was.

dont have a prob with the pics, dont find them all that funny myself normally, but they dont make me cry either. I do think its yet another example of one rule for some people and another for others though. Some people can post a pic like that and get banned, others can and it just gets moved

Can you imagine if Australian forums were making jokes and posting pics up of Princess Diana's death on the day she died, how would the British feel? Not saying its innocent here and I knew he was very popular but had no idea he touched so many people. It really is amazing.

"Meanwhile his manager has said film footage of the ebullient TV naturalist's final moments should never be shown.
The tape was currently in police custody and should be destroyed, John Stainton told the CNN television network.
The tape apparently shows Mr Irwin pulling the barb left by a stingray's tail from his chest moments before his death.
"It should be destroyed," Mr Stainton said. "When that (tape) is finally released it will never see the light of day, ever.
"I actually saw it and I don't want to see it again," he said. "

steve irwin was asked as a kid what his favourite tv programme was. he said that he really liked thunderbirds, but stingray had a special place in his heart
