i couldnt believe the news, my daughter used to watch every show, can't believe what a freak accident,
Freak accident?
Freak accident would be if you or I got killed by a wild animal.

Try 'Inevitible'. His life revolved around getting in the face of dangerous wild animals, and he finally ran out of luck.
Except that rays normally aren't all that dangerous, at least not in the sense of being lethal. There are plenty of stingray injuries here in SoCal every year (almost always injuries to the lower extremities), but in all of Australia there are two known deaths from rays and both were nearly identical to the incident that killed Steve Irwin: one a young boy in 1988, the other an adult male in 1930. Yeah, I'd call that more a freak accident than an inevitible one. You have a far greater risk of being struck by lightning, or a Buick.
