Now the only man who witnessed Irwin death’s has spoken publicly about the incident for the first time in an interview with the Australian morning program Studio 10.
Irwin was fatally injured by a violent stingray attack in 2006 while shooting a documentary entitled “Ocean’s Deadliest” on the Great Barrier Reef. Those were his only words - his last - before he died. He looked up at his cameraman, a gaping stingray barb wound in his chest, and said “I’m dying.” Steve Irwin, the legendary and seemingly invincible “Crocodile Hunter,” knew it was likely the end.
