Or Sasha Cohen aka Borat, who is Jewish singing "Throw the Jew Down the Well"... damn funny.
I feel sorry for his families loss, but the guy did some pretty outrageous stuff in his career and was very dangerous to himself as well as others. I'm actually surprised that he hadn't bought the farm earlier.
The basic premise of "you play with fire and you are going to get burned" should apply. He played with fire and did get burned. It is my sincere hope that he isn't now burning for eternity.

It finally happened, we agree on something.
I always found Irwins stunts to be extremly dangerous. The bit that did it for me was that crazy stunt of letting his infant son be so close to a Saltwater crocodile. The saltwater is probably the most dangerous predator on Earth. In Austalia there are usually 6 people killed annually by saltwaters, they are no joke for an adult, and no place to have a baby.
My cousin who produces French nature programs for TV knew Irwin personally as he had shot lots of films in Australia (including a documentary on the saltwater croc) said that incident was one of the most irresponisible stunts he had ever seen, and this is coming from someone that had a few close calls as well.
While its regretable what happened to Irwin it was also predictable, these are after all wild animals, not cuddly housecats.
